BaES 48 (against him see StaThLz April 28, 1894, 235); chief difficulty is that Aramaic, which has נַחֵשׁ, has no נָחָשׁ compare RSJPh.xiv. 115; — Late Hebrew Qal Participle נוֺחֵשׁ, and Pi.; Aramaic Pa. נַחֵשׁ, bdb063804, all = divine, learn by omens; perhaps compare also Arabic bdb063805 be unlucky Lane2775 compare Meil.c.); — Perfect 3rd person masculine singular וְנִחֵשׁ 2 Kings 21:6; 2 Chronicles 33:6; 1st person singular נִחַ֫שְׁתִּי Genesis 30:27; Imperfect יְגַחֵשׁ Genesis 44:5, 15; 3rd person masculine plural יְנַחֲשׁוּ 1 Kings 20:33, וַיְנַחָ֑שׁוּ 2 Kings 17:17; 2nd person masculine plural תְּנַחֲשׁוּ Leviticus 19:26; Infinitive absolute נַחֵשׁ 1 Kings 20:33; Participle מְנַחֵשׁ Deuteronomy 18:10 (compare especially RSJPhoenician xiv. 113 ff.); —
1. practise divination Genesis 44:5 (J; by means of cup, i.e. by hydromancy), with implied power to learn secret things Genesis 44:15; condemned by prophetic writer 2 Kings 21:6 2 Chronicles 33:6 (+ עוֺנֵן וְעָשָׂח אוֺב וְיִדְּעֹנִים), 2 Kings 17:17 (|| וַיִּקְסְמוּ קְסָמִים); forbidden in D and H: Deuteronomy 18:10 (+ קֹסֵם קְסָמִים מְעוֺנֵן וּמְכַשֵּׁף), Leviticus 19:26 (H; || תְּעוֺנֵנ֑וּ).
2. observe the signs or omens Genesis 30:27 (J); so probably יְנַחֲשׁוּ 1 Kings 20:33 now the men were observing the signs.
