Witchcraft as an English term first appears in the King James Bible in 1 Samuel 15:23 [1]

But it is translated from the Hebrew word qecem[2] but may be translated divination and is also from kesheph as a noun[3] or as a verb[4] and often associated with iniquity <0205> and idolatry <08655>.

In the New Testament we see the words sorcery and witchcraft from the Greek word pharmakeia[5]



2 Kings 9:22 And it came to pass, when Joram saw Jehu, that he said, [Is it] peace, Jehu? And he answered, What peace, so long as the whoredoms of thy mother Jezebel and her witchcrafts<03785> [are so] many?

2 Chronicles 33:6 And he caused his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom: also he observed times, and used enchantments, and used witchcraft<03784>, and dealt with a familiar spirit, and with wizards: he wrought much evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.

Micah 5:12 And I will cut off witchcrafts<03785> out of thine hand; and thou shalt have no [more] soothsayers:

Nahum 3:4 Because of the multitude of the whoredoms of the wellfavoured harlot, the mistress of witchcrafts, that selleth nations through her whoredoms, and families through her witchcrafts<03785>.

Galatians 5:20 Idolatry, witchcraft <5331>, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,

Revelation 9:21 Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries <5331>, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.

Revelation 18:23 And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries <5331> were all nations deceived.
