enchanter, conjurer; practitioner of incantations and magic
A term for Babylonian magicians or sorcerers, likely borrowed from Akkadian (âšipu), referring to specialists in incantations and divination. The word appears only in Daniel's court narratives, grouped with other classes of Babylonian wise men. These were professional practitioners of magical arts, distinct from but associated with astrologers and diviners.

1. sense 1 — Both occurrences in Daniel (1:20; 2:2) list enchanters alongside other categories of Babylonian court specialists—magicians (חַרְטֻמִּים), sorcerers (מְכַשְּׁפִים), and Chaldeans (כַּשְׂדִּים). Daniel 1:20 notes that Daniel and his friends were 'ten times better' than all these practitioners. The Babylonian loan-word reflects the specialized vocabulary of Mesopotamian magical professions, and the Aramaic cognates confirm this denotes ritual specialists who performed conjurations. Translations render it as 'enchanters' (English), 'encantadores' (Spanish), or preserve the transliteration, recognizing the technical nature of this professional class. 2×
