Sounds right. The Egyptians did have divination, though idk what it looked like. The Hebrews did also. I think prohibitions against divination is about people turning it into a kind of idol, in the sense that you believe in it with certainty and fail to put the effort into changing outcomes or situations, which is basically to say that their use as a model for the world may be useful but it still gets you no closer to actually understanding the world. Same with astrology - I see people saying things with certainty based on charts, but that certainty entails a giving up of personal agency. So I agree with both sides, the people using these things and the people saying don't use them. Idk how I got onto prohibitions, I think it was just a run away thought...
