It is a term that conveys the physical act of separating or partitioning, and it can be used both literally and metaphorically in the Hebrew Scriptures.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, the act of cutting or dividing was significant in various contexts, including sacrificial rituals, covenant-making, and everyday life. The division of animal parts in sacrifices was a common practice, symbolizing the offering of life to God. Additionally, the act of cutting animals in half was part of covenant ceremonies, as seen in Genesis 15, where God makes a covenant with Abram. This practice symbolized the seriousness and binding nature of the covenant, with the divided animals serving as a visual representation of the consequences of breaking the agreement.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. root<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to cut in two<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>cut (2).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> [<font class="hebrew2">בָּתַר</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>cut in two</b></font> (Arabic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb014402.gif"> <em>cut off</em> prematurely;
