The Evil Eye is mentioned repeatedly throughout the Old Testament, Israel's parabiblical writings, and New Testament, with a variety of terms and expressions. The Old Testament Greek Septuagint contains no less than fourteen text segments involving some twenty explicit references to the Evil Eye Deut 159 2854, 56 Prov 236 2822 Tob 47, 16 Sir 143, 6, 8, 9, 10 1818 3113 3711 Wis 412 4 Macc 126 215 Ep Jer 6970. At least three further texts are also likely implied references to an Evil Eye 1 Sam 229, 32 189, with some other texts as more distant possibilities. The Evil Eye is mentioned also in the Old Testament Pseudepigrapha, the Dead Sea Scrolls, and the writings of Philo and Josephus--all of which are discussed in the following pages. Evil Eye belief and practice continued in the early Jesus movement. Jesus mentions the Evil Eye on more than one occasion Matt 622-23 Luke 1133-36 Mark 722. Paul makes explicit and implicit mention of the Evil Eye in his letter to the Galatians 31 412-20.
