The Bible does not usually discuss palmistry by name. It addresses the larger category: divination, omens, sorcery, mediums, and fortune-telling. That category is rejected because it seeks hidden knowledge or control apart from God.
In the Old Testament, Deuteronomy 18 is the central passage. It lists divination, sorcery, interpreting omens, witchcraft, and consulting mediums among practices Israel is told to avoid.
In the New Testament, Acts 16 describes a slave girl with a spirit of divination, while Galatians 5 includes sorcery among works of the flesh. The concern continues: Christians are not meant to outsource guidance to occult systems.
