Let’s look at some Old Covenant Scriptures pertaining to the word divine:

1 Samuyl (Samuel) 28:8 – “He said to her (the medium, physic) at Endor; ‘qucam (divine) a familiar spirit unto
me.’”
Shaul was condemned for this blasphemy against Yahweh; witchcraft and sorcery (divining) are strictly condemned in scripture (see 1 Sam 15:23 – 2 Chron 33:6 – Galatians 5:19-20).

Yechetzqyah (Ezekiel) 13:9 – “And My hand will come upon the prophets who see idolatry and divine (qacam)
lies.”
Yechetzqyah 21:21 – “For the king of Babylon (confusion) stops at the parting of the way, at the fork of two ways,
to use magic (qecem, the root being qacam).”

Micahyah (Micah) 3:11 – “And her prophets qacam (divine) for money.”

The only time that the word nachash (“hiss, whisper, enchanter”) is used in scripture is when Yahseph (Joseph) attempts to scare his brothers who do not recognize him. He leads them to believe he has the powers of and Egyptian sorcerer. (Genesis 44:15)

Like with elohiym, every reference to the words which speak of divining, are used in a derogatory manner in the Hebrew texts. And what of commonly used words today that also have no Hebrew origins. Let’s take a look at a few and see:
