Bible Question (short): Was Joseph involved in occult practices? |
Question (full): I was surprised to find Joseph claiming secret knowledge through divination (Genesis 44:5, Genesis 44:15). Perhaps he was “role playing” to further test his brothers? Or had he been influenced by his wife’s family, worshiping the god On? (see Genesis 41:45 and repetitions) |
