'''Notzrim''' are first named concerning the raid of Samaria during the reign of King Hoshea (759-714BC) in 2 Kings 17:9 being:
:בני ישראל דברים אשר לא כן על י**ה א**יהם
(:Sons of Israel who did things secretly which were not right against the L*RD G*D G-d). Their The tower of these warlocks is also mentioned in 2 Kings 18.
This is probably the earliest (albeit oblique) reference to the now very well known but so-called "Great Secret" of Gnosticism whereby Gnostics exchange Israel's liberator for the Serpent of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil.
