It is often used in the context of dividing animal sacrifices, as seen in ancient covenant rituals.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, covenants were often ratified through a ceremony involving the cutting of animals into pieces. This act symbolized the seriousness of the covenant, with the divided pieces serving as a visual representation of the consequences of breaking the agreement. The parties involved would walk between the pieces, signifying their commitment to uphold the covenant terms. This practice is reflected in the biblical narrative of God's covenant with Abram in Genesis 15.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/1334.htm">bathar</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a part, piece<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>half (1), parts (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">בֶּ֫תֶר</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font><sup>Genesis 15:10</sup> <font size="+1"><b>part, piece</b></font>. <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>1</b></font> <font class="hebrew2">בִּתְרוֺ</font> <a href="/interlinear/genesis/15-10.htm">Genesis 15:10</a>; plural suffix <font class="hebrew2">בְּתָרָיו</font> <a href="/interlinear/jeremiah/34-18.htm">Jeremiah 34:18</a>, <font class="hebrew2">בִּתְרֵי הָעֵגֶל</font> <a href="/interlinear/jeremiah/34-19.htm">Jeremiah 34:19</a>; always of halves of animals cut in two in making covenants. </p><p style="sub1"><p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>2</b></font> <font class="hebrew2">הָרֵי בָּ֑תֶר</font> <a href="/interlinear/songs/2-17.htm">Songs 2:17</a> <em>mountains of cutting</em>, i.e. <em>cleft mountains</em> <font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font> Thes and others; or <em>of separation</em> (between us) Ew and others; according to We<sup>Prol. 415, Eng.
