Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Jeremiah 34:18

_ _ passed between the parts thereof — The contracting parties in the “covenant” (not here the law in general, but their covenant made before God in His house to emancipate their slaves, Jeremiah 34:8, Jeremiah 34:9) passed through the parts of the animal cut in two, implying that they prayed so to be cut in sunder (Matthew 24:51; Greek, “cut in two”) if they should break the covenant (Genesis 15:10, Genesis 15:17).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Jeremiah 34:8-22.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Jeremiah 34:18

Cut the calf — It seems these Jews in their making of the solemn covenant with God about releasing their servants used this rite; they caused a calf, or heifer to be cut in pieces, and the parts to be laid in the temple, right over — against one another; then they recited this covenant, and passed between the parts of the heifer so cut; silently agreeing that God should cut them in pieces like that beast if they did not make their words good.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Jeremiah 34:18

And I will give the men that have transgressed my covenant, who have not performed the words of the covenant which they had made before me, when they (h) cut the calf in two, and passed between the parts of it,

(h) Concerning the manner of solemn covenant which the ancients used by passing between the two parts of a beast, to signify that the transgressor of the same covenant should be so divided in pieces, read (Genesis 15:10).
