Magic Bands
Holman Bible Dictionary
Bands or cushions placed on the wrist in magical practices (Ezekiel 13:18 ,Ezekiel 13:18,13:20 ). The KJV translates “pillows.” Their precise nature is unknown. Apparently they represented part of a diviner's paraphanalia used to determine the destinies the gods had determined. See Kerchiefs .
