Brown-Driver-Briggs Expanded Definition

אָשַׁף (K§ a) noun masculine conjurer, enchanter (probably Babylonian Loan-word; so Biblical Hebrew אַשָּׁף); — absolute ׳א Daniel 2:10; plural absolute אָֽשְׁפִין Daniel 2:27; Daniel 5:11, emphatic אָֽשְׁפַיָא Daniel 4:4; Daniel 5:7,15.

Gesenius' Hebrew and Chaldee Definition

אָשַׁף an unused root. Syr. ܐܶܫܰܦ to use incantation. Jo. Simonis places the primary power in the idea of covering, hiding, and laying up, whence comes the Syr. to use enchantment, pr. to use hidden arts; compare לָאַט and לוּט, also אַשְׁפָּה a quiver, so called from the idea of hiding. In the signification of using enchantment, it is cognate to כָּשַׁף.
