I proposed a new idea, that Jannes and his brother, thought, by some, to have opposed Moses,
and Jannaeus and his brother, thought, by some, to have opposed the Qumran-view "Teacher of Righteousness" were, by some, being compared.

"....This passage in CD 5 and in 4Q266 3 ii 6 and
4Q267 2:2 draws a parallel between the time that Belial raised most wicked and powerful
opponents against Moses and his brother and the writer’s present-day when the Teacher
of Righteousness was opposed by the Wicked Priest, Jannaeus...."
