And he said: LORD God / whereby shall I know that I shall possess it? And he said unto him: take an heifer of .iij. year old / and a she got of three years old / and a three year old ram / a turtle dove and a young pigeon. And he toke all these and divided them in the midst / and laid every piece / one over against another. But the fowls divided he not. And the birds fell on the caresses / but Abram drove them away. And when the sun was down / there fell a slumber upon Abram. And lo / fear and great darkness came open him.
