And he took unto him all these and divided them in the midst, and laid each piece one against another; but the birds divided he not. " t From Abram's staple of wealth were these ani- mals selected as a sacrificial offering unto God. It is true they were not presented upon an altar, but the fundamental idea of sacrifice was carried out in the slaughter of the animals. To gain an accurate estimate of this transaction we must consult the cuneiform inscriptions of Babylonia.
As already stated, the ...name of Abram, Abu-ramu, has been found written on Babylonian '' contract-tablets " of a ver}^ early date. In the British Museum there are large numbers of these tablets dating back as far as 2400 B. C. + They reveal a highly-developed system of law whose aim was the protection of property. The boundaries of property were marked off" by stelae; deeds to land were formally drawn up, witnessed and sealed. § On the one side of the contract-tablet are stated the terms of the contract and the names of the contracting parties ; on the other side is given a list of the witnesses to the contract, also the date and the name of the king and his country.
