* the magicians of Egypt.
The word here used (chartummim) may mean no more than
interpreters of abstruse or difficult subjects; especially of
dreams and visions, which formed a considerable part of the
ancient pagan religion; and the Egyptian priests were the
first who professed this art. The word may be of affinity
with, or derived from, the Persian {chiradmand,} wise,
learned, judicious, intelligent, from {chirad,}
understanding, judgment, and {mand,} endowed with. They seem
to have been such persons as Josephus calls sacred scribes;
or professors of sacred learning.
