I recently read a reference to Donald Bretherton's suggestion that Exodus
22:17
מְכַשֵּׁפָה לֹא תְחַיֶּה
MK$PH L) TXYH
be translated
"A woman practicing magic must not restore to life any dead person or beast:
she will surely be put to death."
While I can see a few variations on "Do not allow a sorceress (or
necromancer) to live, I can't see how this translation makes sense.
Am I missing something?
Sincerly,
Michael Abernathy
