Either by a superstitious lustration or purgation, or by a cruel sacrificing, of them. See Levit. 18. 21. 2 King. 17. 31. and 23. 10. 2 Chron. 28. 3. Psal. 106. 37. Ier. 7. 31. and 19. 5. Ezek. 16. 20, 21. and 23. 37, 38, 39.

(i. e.) Foretelleth things secret or to come, Mic. 3. 11. by unlawful arts and practises.

Superstitiously pronouncing some days good or lucky, and others unlucky for such or such actions. Or, an observer of the clouds or heavens, i. e. one that divineth by the motions of the clouds, by the stars, or by the flying or chattering of Birds, all which heathens used to observe.

Or, a conjecturer, that discovers hidden things by a superstitious use of words or ceremonies, by observation of water, or smoke or any contingencies, as the meeting of an hare, &c. See on Levit. 19. 26.

One that is in covenant with the Devil, and by his help deludes their sences or hurts their persons. See Exod. 7. 11. and 22. 18.
