Enchantments. The words so translated have several signification:

the practice of secret arts, Exodus 7:11; Exodus 7:22; Exodus 8:7,

"muttered spells," 2 Kings 9:22; Micah 5:12,

the charming of serpents, Ecclesiastes 10:11,

the enchantments sought by Balaam, Numbers 24:1,

the use of magic, Isaiah 47:9; Isaiah 47:12.

Any resort to these methods of imposture was strictly forbidden in Scripture, Leviticus 19:26; Isaiah 47:9, etc., but to eradicate the tendency is almost impossible, 2 Kings 17:17, and we find it still flourishing at the Christian era. Acts 13:6; Acts 13:8.
