Commentary on Deuteronomy 18:11

Theological / Devotional

Enchanter. Literally, “whisperer” or “hisser,” from a root meaning “to hiss.” The derived noun form, meaning “serpent,” is used 31 times in the OT (Gen. 3:1; Micah 7:17; etc.). This is, perhaps, a reference to the practices of spiritualism.

Witch. See 2 Chron. 33:6. Another noun from the same root is “witchcraft” (see 2 Kings 9:22; Micah 5:12; Nahum 3:4).
