Deuteronomy 18:10-14 “There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch. Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For all that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord: and because of these abominations the Lord thy God doth drive them out from before thee. Thou shalt be perfect with the Lord they God. For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners, but as for thee, the Lord they God hath not suffered thee so to do.” (Leviticus 20:6,27; Isaiah 9:19)
