The original Bible said a root of kashaph as backed up by the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Masoretic Text. We shall find the true meaning of this word but first we need to take a small detour here and find out about all the New Hebrew words that are distorting the facts here.
I am curious as to where you got keeshoof from?
The correct wording is Kishuf not keeshoof when doing research on the word. The only people using the keeshoof word is a small number of wicca websites. Don't believe me type both in a search engine like google. See from here is where the truth starts coming out, 1 little small piece at a time. Kabbalah also start coming into the picture. It would seem that a whole new set of words has been created which is where your sources for the "New Hebrew" are probaly getting the current meanings from. From the new topics all this will be revealed.
Some new topics that will be started.
1) Kishuf - Jewish Meanings of the word and lots of old text to explain it.

2) Kabbalah - Qabalah (Kabbalah is an aspect of Jewish mysticism which runs around in circles trying to find loopholes in the Law to practice witchcraft.) Lots of new Hebrew words comes from there.
3) Current Jewish words for the Occult
4) Sanhedrin, Maharal and talmud Junk and how they are effecting the Hebrew Language and the Occult.
5) The Zohar (circa 1200 CE) Where the Lilith Garbage came from.
