Why is Moses commonly depicted with Horns?
<p>After receiving the 10 commandments from God atop Mount Sinai, Moses returned to the Israelites with ‘keren’ or, when rendered into English ‘horns’. To a modern audience this can seem seen startling, even offensive, which is why almost all modern translations of the Bible exclude it, rendering the above line ‘and behold the skin on his face shone’.</p>
<p>But why would he be shown with horns at all, given all the connotations attached to them? Is it, as many suggest, a mistranslation, or did Moses have horns, as Michelangelo depicts in his famous ‘Moses’, which today adorns the tomb of Pope Julius II in St Peter’s Basilica?</p>
