It cannot be discounted. Thank you. [/quote] Keren is noun means either horn or beam. Karan is verb past tense means to beam. You can see why beam and horn have the same word, they create the same shape and motion. [/quote]
Original Message
I’ve never noticed this before, but there are horns present on the head of Moses in many old paintings, sculptures, tapestries, stained glass windows, etc... I find this to be a bit disconcerting.
