be.ter denotes separated portions, especially the pieces of an animal cut apart.

1. Separated portions of a cut animal · dominant

   In Genesis 15:10, the singular construct form occurs after the animals are cut in the midst, and the APB renders the resulting arrangement as each having “his part opposite his neighbor.” In Jeremiah 34:18 and Jeremiah 34:19, plural construct forms occur with a calf cut in two and people passing between its portions; the APB renders the clause with “parts.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term as “part” in Genesis 15:10 and “parts” in Jeremiah 34:18 and Jeremiah 34:19. These renderings confirm the scenes of divided animals rather than establish a finer distinction.
