28(...continued)their prayers. Also see Leviticus 21:5, where a closely related noun, tj,r"(f', sareteth occurs ina similar context.Another practice that is forbidden in Leviticus 19:28 is that of [q;ê[]q; tb,toåk.. The firstword in this phrase means “writings of...” The second word occurs only here in the HebrewBible, and its meaning is therefore very uncertain. Suggestions for its meaning have included“incision,” “imprint,” and “tattoo.” It seems most probable that what is intended is some type ofwriting or engraving on the worshiper’s body, intended like the vp,n
28(...continued)and teraphim are to be identified as mantic properties of the underworld, in which it was thoughtthat the source of true knowledge was to be found...“The Old Testament uses this expression in three different senses: (1) the pit which hasbeen dug out, by means of which the spirits of the dead are called up (1 Samuel 28:7-8); (2) thespirit or spirits of the dead which are troubled (Isaiah 29:4); and (3) the necromancer [‘one whocommunicates with the spirits of the dead’] who calls forth the spirits to get information (Leviticus19:31; 20:6, 27; Deuteronomy 18:11; 1 Samuel 28:3, 9; 2 Kings 21:6 [= 2 Chronicles 33:6];23:24; Isaiah 8:19...)“The spirit ascends...from the ground and undoubtedly comes forth from a preparedopening. Although the language of Isaiah 29:4 is perhaps somewhat figurative, still in thescornful words found there we can get some impression of the way in which the spirits werecalled: ‘Then deep from the earth you shall speak, from low in the dust your words shall come;your voice shall come from the ground like the voice of a ghost, and your speech shall whisper outof the dust.’ The prophets of Yahweh describe the audible manifestations of the )obh as ‘whispering’or ‘chirping’ (tsaphtseph), an expression which denotes the cry of certain birds (Isaiah10:14) or the rustling of the leaves of the willow tree...The different verbs connected with )obhindicate only that here was the source of secret information: a person ‘turned to’...‘sought’... ‘used’...the necromancer, who asked advice of...the spirit or spirits who came up out of the pit, or ‘Divinedby’ (bAaêB' yli-ymis\q', ‘consult a spirit for me’) 1 Samuel 28:8) them.“1 Samuel 28 is the most fruitful and probably also the oldest witness in the Old Testamentfor the understanding of bAa, )obh. In this passage we learn that the crisis which gave riseto the consultation of the necromancer was a serious military threat (verses 4-5). Naturally, theapproved ways of seeking advice (...’prophets’; ‘urim’...’dreams’) were exhausted first, but Yahwehdid not answer...When this happened, out of desperation Saul commanded his officers toseek out for him a woman who had access to an bAa, )obh. Saul went to her at night partly toconceal his identity, and partly because necromancers of this sort preferred to do their work atnight. He made a twofold request: (1) ‘Divine (qasam) for me by a spirit ()obh),’ and (2) ‘Bringup for me...whomever I shall name to you’ (verse 8). After the woman had obtained a promise ofprotection from her client (verse 10), the name of the dead person who should be brought up wasgiven to her (verse 11).“This passage gives no information as to the procedure the woman used to entice the spiritof Samuel to come forth. When it appeared, she alone had a visionary experience (verses 12-13), because Saul had to ask her, ‘What do you see?’ This visionary experience gave the womangreater potential for comprehension, for suddenly she knew the true identity of her disguised client(verse 12). She described that which appeared to her in the vision as ‘spirits’ (~yhiîl{a/...Gods) coming up out of the (opening in the) earth’ (verse 13), and as ‘an old man...who is wrap-(continued...)39
