Jannes and Jambres

  Jannes and Jambres were two of Pharaoh's magicians in the land of Egypt.
  When Moses first went to Pharaoh to demand that he let the children of Israel go, the Lord gave Moses signs to show Pharaoh and the children of Israel so that they would know that he (Moses) was sent by God to deliver the children of Israel. One of the signs that the Lord gave him was that the if he (Moses) threw his rod on the ground it would become a serpent. When Moses gave this sign to Pharaoh, Pharaoh told his magicians to do the same with their rods. The magicians threw their rods on the ground, and their rods became serpents as well. Moses' serpent (rod) ate the magicians serpents (rod). Of course all of the people in the court were astonished at what they saw.
This was only the beginning of miracles that the Lord would show to the Egyptians and the to world.
