Easton's Bible Dictionary (1897)/Astrologer

Astrologer (Dan. 1:20; 2:2, 10, 27, etc.) Heb. `ashshaph', an enchanter, one who professes to divine future events by the appearance of the stars. This science flourished among the Chaldeans. It was positively forbidden to the Jews (Deut. 4:19; 18:10; Isa. 47:13).
