Note 107 — Chapter I · THE HEBREW PATRIARCHS (continued 2)
Reading edition
See Wiedemann, Religion der alten Aegypter, pp. 142-144. The khartummîm and khakâmîm (Authorised Version, ‘magicians’ and ‘wise men’) seem to correspond with the Egyptian kherhebu, ‘interpreters of the sacred books,’ and rekhu khetu, ‘wise men.’
