Abominable Practices
9“When you come into the land that the Lord your God is giving you, myou shall not learn to follow the abominable practices of those nations. 10There shall not be found among you anyone nwho burns his son or his daughter as an offering, ▼▼Hebrew makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire
anyone who ppractices divination or qtells fortunes or interprets omens, or ra sorcerer 11or a charmer or sa medium or a necromancer or tone who inquires of the dead, 12 ufor whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord. And vbecause of these abominations the Lord your God is driving them out before you. 13You shall be blameless before the Lord your God, 14for these nations, which you are about to dispossess, listen to fortune-tellers and to diviners. But as for you, the Lord your God has not allowed you to do this. Isaiah 8:19
19And when they say to you, “Inquire of the wmediums and the necromancers who chirp and mutter,” should not a people inquire of their God? Should they inquire of xthe dead on behalf of the living?
