Abstract: "The consistent effort by Philo and Josephus to play down the magical dimensions of Moses (see Exodus 7) reflects the disrespect commonly associated with the terms ma/goj and magei/a. Nevertheless, there is solid evidence from Jewish and other ancient sources that in some circles Moses was revered as a magician". - D.J.H.
