Jannes and Jambres

Jannes and Jambres were two ancient Egyptian magicians in the story of Moses within the Bible. They are parodied in the Dreamworks movie called The Prince of Egypt and renamed “Hotep and Huy”. They were also somewhat pawns of the pharaoh, Rameses the Great. When Moses’s staff turned into a snake, it devoured both of their staffs, which also turned into snakes, signifying God’s power over the Egyptian gods.
