So...whats`s the pictures then ?


Moses horns

Good question!

From what I can gather, it seems Saint Jerome may have not taken into account the difficulties of translating early Hebrew
text into Latin and this one of the problems when explaining the true meanings of something like the Bible.

When Moses descended from Mount Sinai with the Ten Commandments, it was reported that his face 'shone with rays of
light'. In Hebrew, the word to describe this phenomena is 'Keren'. However, when translating Saint Jerome's writings into
Latin, he used a literal description via Latin text that means 'horn'.

This was distributed and the error flew around the known world before the balls-up had a chance to get its pants on.
As more Paganistic areas got hold of the translation, the concept of a horned-person helped in propagandising the idea
that this Judaic legend held darker implications. For Rome, it placed early Christianity in the same category as Greece's
Pan or Satyr -the lustful, drunken woodland god.

Oddly enough, the Old Testament never mentions any horned animalistic Devil, except in the form of a serpent. But one
always makes use of any negative promotion for a competing religion!
