The other of the two Egyptian magicians who stood against Moses before Pharaoh. Exodus does not name either, and Paul takes the names from a well-known tradition.
One of two Egyptian magicians, remembered in later Jewish tradition as Jannes and Jambres, who imitated Moses's signs before Pharaoh and opposed him, according to 2 Timothy 3:8.
