Chapter 8

1Said Ya'ekob : O my son, thou shalt not be one who interprets prodigies, or who is an augur ; because all this guides to idolatry. Nor shalt thou be a wizard or a charmer, or a chooser of hours, or a chooser of days, or a star-gazer, or a magician, or of men who deal y) with omens ; nor shalt thou desire to be acquainted with them ; because all this is for thee idolatry.
