[Yigal Levin <Yigal.Levin AT biu.ac.il>]

Assuming that we're talking about the list of forbidden practices in Deut. 18:10-11, "qosem qesamim" is usually understood to be a general practitioner of magic, and "me'onen" is understood to be derived from " 'onah" – "season", "one who foretells the seasons", a fortune teller. Various commentators and translations give different nuances of these explanations.

Mike,

Concerning QSM, do you mean the word that appears in Nm 23:23? Do you mean the word that is found in Dt 18:10?

Or you rather think of the word that appears in Ez 21:34?

(You should give the vowel sounds of your word)

 

Greetings,

What exactly do the terms קסם and ענן mean?
