Divination, the use of special talents and techniques to gain
divine knowledge, was practiced in many different forms in ancient
Israel and throughout the ancient world. The Hebrew Bible reveals a
variety of traditions of women associated with divination. This
sensitive and incisive book by respected scholar Esther J. Hamori
examines the wide scope of women's divinatory activities as
portrayed in the Hebrew texts, offering readers a new appreciation
of the surprising breadth of women's "arts of knowledge" in
biblical times. Unlike earlier approaches to the subject that have
viewed prophecy separately from other forms of divination, Hamori's
study encompasses the full range of divinatory practices and the
personages who performed them, from the female prophets and the
medium of En-dor to the matriarch who interprets a birth omen and
the "wise women" of Tekoa and Abel and more. In doing so, the
author brings into clearer focus the complex, rich, and diverse
world of ancient Israelite divination.
