Some think this was perhaps due to a mistranslation & that it was meant to show rays of light emitted from the head of Moses. In a few of these depictions, it does appear that the “horns” are indeed light. In many depictions of Moses, including Michaelangelos, these are very obvious horns. I would love to hear opinions on why Moses has been shown in such a way. It seems kind of creepy, in my opinion. [/quote] Underlying hatred of the Old Covenant by christians ends up being depicted as devil horns on Moses. [/quote] Who wouldn't hate the blood drenching slaver thing? We aren't allowed to blood revel or slave so it has no use for us. Watered down moloch, you can take the middle easter out of Ur.....but who ever got the Ur out of the middle easter? (besides the y'shua figure? (Sans shaul's new model dummy ruling communes....we improved on those too) [/quote]

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.
