Witchcraft and divination in the Hebrew Bible

The Hebrew Bible tells stories of people practicing witchcraft and divination. Witchcraft and divination were seen as ways to get information from spirits. People believed that by using spells or rituals, they could talk to the spirits and get answers about the future or ask for help with problems. Divination was a way to predict what was going to happen in the future by using things like bones, the stars, or even dreams. In the Hebrew Bible, there were people who practiced witchcraft and divination, but God did not like them and wanted the people to stop practicing. He wanted the people to trust in Him and His promises instead of relying on witchcraft and divination.
