Exodus 7:11Hebrew Names version (HNV)Then Par`oh also called for the wise men and the sorcerers. They also, the magicians of Egypt, did in like manner with their enchantments. See the chapter |
There is a man in your kingdom, in whom is the spirit of the holy gods; and in the days of your father light and understanding and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods, were found in him; and the king Nevukhadnetzar 1 your father, the king, [I say], your father, made him master of the magicians, enchanters, Kasdim, and soothsayers;
The king cried aloud to bring in the enchanters, the Kasdim, and the soothsayers. The king spoke and said to the wise men of Bavel, Whoever shall read this writing, and show me the interpretation of it, shall be clothed with purple, and have a chain of gold about his neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom.
