Notes
- Mentioned in Paul's Second Epistle to Timothy (3.8): Iambres (iota 28) and Iannes opposed Moses (mu 1348). Jannes and Jambres are "names of two legendary wizards of Pharaoh 'who withstood Moses' (II Tim. iii. 8) by imitating 'with their enchantments' the works of Moses and Aaron, though they were defeated (Ex. vii. 11, viii. 7)": Jewish Encyclopedia s.v., see web address 1 for further details.
