Can someone help me with what the interpretation of this verse means in the Hebrew text? Is there a explanation of what witchcraft, witch, or sorceress, actually encompasses? Is the definition of these word the same as in the Christian Bible? Thank you.

Are we looking at something different?

I'm getting the below for Exodus 22:18 (Parshah Mishpatim)

"18. Whoever lies [carnally] with an animal shall surely be put to death."
