Enchantments:
The words so translated have several signification: the practice of secret arts (Exodus 7:11; 7:22; 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; 47:12). Any resort to these methods of imposture was strictly forbidden in Scripture (Leviticus 19:26; Isaiah 47:9etc.) 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; 13:8).
The Blue Letter Bible ministry and the BLB Institute hold to the historical, conservative Christian faith, which includes a firm belief in the inerrancy of Scripture. Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
