Where would I find this little-known verse?


In the Bible, of course. It isn't "little-known" by any serious reader
since there are a number of situations that refer back to it. In the
ancient Hebrew world there was little doubt that witchcraft was
effective, but it was considered an insult to God.

Specifically, its Exodus 22:18 in the King James. In the Hebrew (JPS)
Bible its Exodus 22:17, just between "seducing a virgin for whom the
bride-price has not been paid" and "lies with a beast."
