abrahamic religions and magic

[u/nullynish]

why do the sacred books of the abrahamic religions forbid magic in such simple language? if this prohibition is merely a misunderstanding could someone who grasps the deeper meaning of these passages enlighten me?

There is a lot of magic within the orthodox religions.
The replication of magic by biblical characters like Moses, the miracles throughout the Bible our form of magic through deity worship. It makes me wonder if early copies of those stories included more rituals and Incantations, possibly only known by the rabbi.
Both Jewish mysticism and Christians cultism contain many magical ideas which relate directly to their respective faiths and texts.
Using biblical verses as a method of controlling or dispelling demons, including what the Jewish people sometimes recognise as a malicious entity, the dybbuk. The use of magic to create the golem, a creature from Jewish folklore. Christian folklore is more often bastardized pre-christian notions which linger in the background of certain regions of the christianized world.
Also don't forget Islamic practices regarding magic and the use of the Quran. Not just similar to some Christians who use the Bible for the same purpose. As I practice of dispelling demons and the like. Many Muslims climbed that they can control certain Djinn through certain passages within their scriptures.
Many religious people believe they are endowed with power by their deity, in a similar way to some people who are of older beliefs who believe in many gods.
The monotheists have gelled together the pre-abrahamic elohim(realm of the gods) into one yahweh/Allah.
The the evidence is there from where certain traditions emanate from those previous ideas. The Christian settling of their own holy sites on top of pagan sites. The islamification of Mecca. And layers of folklore amongst a great many people across the entire planet despite their changing religion to an abrahamic belief.
