Covenant between the Pieces / the Covenant of the Pieces

The name of the ceremony performed by our father Abraham by God’s command, at the end of which God made a covenant with Abraham and promised him that his descendants would inherit the Land of Israel (see Genesis 15).

("(And Abraham left Haran when he was seventy years old, and He made with him the Covenant between the Pieces, and afterward he returned to Haran, and when he was seventy-five years old Abraham left Haran completely; that is the year he came to the Land of Israel)"—Pesikta Zutrata (Lekach Tov), Genesis ch. 12)
