Gesenius, Feurst. “So called from the idea of cutting…since it was the custom in making solemn covenants to pass between the divided parts of victims…see Gen. 15:9…” Gen. 15:9 present a picture of God’s “covenant” with Abraham that halves certain animals in two and faces them toward each other inversely as a reflection and a torch crossed in between. (i.e. a "birth canal")
