Leviticus19:26

26 Ye shall not eat any thing with the blood , neither shall ye use inchantment, nor observe times .

(i. e.) Any flesh out of which the blood is not first poured. See 1 Sam. 14. 32. The Jews write, that the Egyptians and other Nations, when they offered sacrifices to the Devils, did eat part of the sacrifices beside the blood which was kept in basins for that end, which also they believed to be as it were the special food of the Devils.

To wit, superstitiously, by the observation of the clouds, or stars, or otherwise, by esteeming some days lucky, others unlucky. See Deut. 18. 10, 11. Esth. 3. 7.

Marginal references: chap. 17. 10. &c.
