What are Enchantments?
ENCHANT'MENTS
This word is the translation of several Hebrew terms. It comprehends the tricks of the Egyptian magicians, Ex 7:11, Josh 11:22; Neh 8:7; the omens Balaam used. Num 24:1; the charming of serpents, Eccl 10:11; and also magical spells, Isa 47:9, Jud 4:12. In Jer 27:9 the "enchanters" were rather seers or augurs. Every species of enchantment fell under the ban of the Mosaic Law. Lev 19:26; Deut 18:10-12. See Divination.
