There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, 11Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.
Deuteronomy 18:10-11
Necromancer comes from to seek or enquire at. In the sense of this verse, it is one that seeks answers from false gods, idols, or the dead, instead of the Lord.
Exodus 18:15 And Moses said unto his father in law, Because the people come unto me to enquire of God:
In this case, Moses enquires or asks the Lord; the word ‘enqurie’ comes from the same word as ‘necromancer’.
