Exegesis
The verse employs a sequence of wayyiqtol verbs—vayyiqach {וַיִּֽקַּֽח | way-yiq-qaḥ} “and he took,” vayevater {וַיְבַתֵּ֤ר | way-ḇat-tēr} “and he divided,” and vayitten {וַיִּתֵּ֥ן | way-yit-tēn} “and he placed”—to present Abram’s actions as a structured ritual procedure.
In context — Genesis 15:10
And he took all these and divided them in the middle, and he placed each part opposite its companion , but he did not divide the bird.
