Enchantments
        The words so translated have several signification: the practice of secret arts, Ex 7:11,22; 8:7; "muttered spells," 2Ki 9:22; Mic 5:12 the charming of serpents, Ec 10:11 the enchantments sought by Balaam, Nu 24:1 the use of magic, Isa 47:9,12 Any resort to these methods of imposture was strictly forbidden in Scripture, Le 19:26; Isa 47:9 etc.; but to eradicate the tendency is almost impossible, 2Ki 17:17 and we find it still flourishing at the Christian era. Ac 13:6,8
