- W2006289327 abstract "In biblical studies and related areas the term wisdom calls to mind primarily the contents of books such as Proverbs, Job, Wisdom, and Sirach. One often gets the impression that wise sayings and extended discourses on practical and, at times, weighty themes were the essence of ancient wisdom in the biblical and post-biblical periods. If one surveys the entire ancient Near East, however, the picture is considerably different. There is widespread evidence from Mesopotamia, Egypt, and Syria that another form of wisdom-mantic wisdom or divinationwas widely practiced. Its learned lore was deposited in a volurninous literature, a large amount of which has survived. There is extensive documentation for the mantic arts not only in the other cultural areas of the ancient Near East but also in Israel, as many passages in the Hebrew Bible show. F.H. Cryer concluded from his recent study of the subject that Israelite divination corresponded broadly in the range of its uses to the utilisation of divination in Mesopotamia and elsewhere in the Near Eastern environment.' In his summary of the biblical passages that deal with divinatory techniques, Y. Kaufmann divided the evidence into two categories: the types of divination that are approved and the types rejected in the Hebrew Bible. The legal means for making inquiry of God were: the urim and tummim, the ephod, the lot, dreams, prophecy, and some temporary signs such as Gideon's fleece. Forbidden means or ones considered to be the ways of the nations were types that fell within the range of the cover terms Orr and COP; thus, the Bible forbids divining, practicing magic, and making inquiry of a medium, a soothsayer (wizard), or the dead. Kaufmann also noted the references to pagan forms of divination such as divining with a cup" @default.
