Genesis 15-17 — The Covenant Cut While He Slept
Abram asks God for proof. God tells him to bring five animals — a three-year-old cow, a three-year-old she-goat, a three-year-old ram, a turtledove, a pigeon.
Day numbers here follow The Procession. The Scriptorium ships a second plan, and the same day number carries different chapters there — the app always shows the day of the plan you are actually walking.
How the day works
The Scripture itself is free every day of the year. Where the commentary has been written it comes at three depths. The Read is ninety seconds and free — finishing there counts as finishing the day, with no asterisk. The Study and Ad Fontes go to the context, the Fathers, and the sources in full, inside the Brotherhood Pass at $8.99 a month. The answer to every objection stays free, always.
