'Practiced' in the Bible

A man named Simon had previously practiced sorcery in that city and astounded the Samaritan people, while claiming to be somebody great.

and because he practiced the same trade, he lived with them and worked, for by trade they were tent makers.

while many of those who had practiced magic collected their books and burned them in front of everyone. So they calculated their value and found it to be 50,000 pieces of silver.
