A
Abaye said to
Rava:
If so, this is
the same as
a
ḥover ḥever
,
one who gathers together, which is stated in the Torah as a separate prohibition (Deuteronomy 18:11) and which is a prohibition that does not carry the punishment of
karet
. Rava
said to him:
It is true that such an individual is also a
ḥover ḥever
, but
the Torah stated: A
ḥover ḥever
such as this,
who gathers demons together, is included in the category of a necromancer and therefore his punishment is death
by stoning…
Keritot 3b:28-29
The Sages taught
with regard to
a charmer
that the prohibition applies
both
to
a gathering of large
animals to one place
and
to
a gathering of small
animals to one place,
and even
to a gathering of
snakes and scorpions.
Abaye says: Therefore,
with regard to
this
person,
who
through sorcery
gathers a hornet and a scorpion
to harm each other, he is nevertheless
prohibited
from doing so
even if he intends to prevent them from harming
him.
Sanhedrin 65a:21-22
To not invoke a charm:
That we have been prevented from making invocations over anything. And this matter is that a man say things, and say to people that those things [he said] benefit or damage anything. And about this is it stated (Deuteronomy 18:10-11), “There shall not be found in you, etc. And one who invokes charms.” And the language of Sifrei Devarim 172 [is] “It is one if he charms a snake or if he charms a scorpion” — meaning to say, that he says to them things, so that they will not bite him, according to his opinion. (See Sefer HaMitzvot, Negative Commandments 35…
Sefer HaChinukh 512:1-2
or make (magical) knots and bindings of serpents and scorpions or any kind of reptile, or who consult the oba, the bones of the dead or the bone Jadua, or who inquire of the manes.
Targum Jonathan on Deuteronomy 18:11
