peep Summary and Overview

PEEP , to "chirp" like young birds. Isa 8:19; Num 10:14. The wizards who pretended to raise the dead spoke in low shrill tones because the dead were supposed to speak thus.

Not "look" curiously, but "chirp" as young birds (Isaiah 8:19; Isaiah 10:14). Necromancers made a faint cry come from the ground as of departed spirits. From the Latin pipio. The same Hebrew is translated "chatter" (Isaiah 38:14).
