Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Hebrew equivalents for Jannes, as the name does not appear in the Hebrew Bible. However, the narrative context relates to the magicians in Exodus, such as those mentioned in Exodus 7:11.

Usage: The name "Jannes" is traditionally associated with one of the magicians who opposed Moses in the court of Pharaoh during the Exodus narrative. Although not mentioned by name in the Old Testament, Jannes is referenced in the New Testament as an example of opposition to the truth.

Cultural and Historical Background: Jannes, along with Jambres, is traditionally identified as one of the Egyptian magicians who challenged Moses and Aaron by replicating some of the miracles performed by them, as recorded in the book of Exodus. This tradition is preserved in Jewish and early Christian literature, including the Targums and writings of Church Fathers. The names Jannes and Jambres became emblematic of those who resist divine truth and authority.
