ENCHANTMENTS - E>@ - The words so translated have several signification: the practice of secret arts, kjv@Exodus:7:11-22 kjv@Exodus:8:7); "muttered spells," ( kjv@2Kings:9:22; kjv@Micah:5:12) the charming of serpents, kjv@Ecclesiastes:10:11) the enchantments sought by Balaam, kjv@Numbers:24:1) the use of magic, kjv@Isaiah:47:9 kjv@Isaiah:47:12) Any resort to these methods of imposture was strictly forbidden in Scripture, kjv@Leviticus:19:26; kjv@Isaiah:47:9) etc.; but to eradicate the tendency is almost impossible, ( kjv@2Kings:17:17) and we find it still flourishing at the Christian era. kjv@Acts:13:6-8)
