וַיִּקְרָא֙ גַּם־פַּרְעֹ֔ה לַֽחֲכָמִ֖ים וְלַֽמְכַשְּׁפִ֑ים וַיַּֽעֲשׂ֨וּ גַם־הֵ֜ם חַרְטֻמֵּ֥י מִצְרַ֛יִם בְּלַהֲטֵיהֶ֖ם כֵּֽן׃
At ipinatawag din ni Faraon ang mga pantas at ang mga manggagaway; at ginawa rin nila, ang mga salamangkero ng Egipto, ang gayon sa pamamagitan ng kanilang mga lihim na orasyon.
Ibn Ezra
[Daniel 2:2] Vayomer ha-melech... la-chartummim (וַיֹּאמֶר הַמֶּלֶךְ... לַֽחַרְטֻמִּים - And the king ordered... magicians): These are the sages of natural science (chakhmei ha-toladet - חַכְמֵי הַתּוֹלֶדֶת) who know the fundamental principles (ikkarim - עִקָּרִים) and the properties/outcomes (toladot - תּוֹלָדוֹת) of everything, and all actions that are performed secretly (b'lat - בְּלָט). And thus it is written regarding the magicians (chartummim - חַרְטֻמִּים) of Egypt [cf. Exodus 7:11, Exodus 7:22, etc.].
