Best Answer

This horrible lie comes from a simple mistranslation of Hebrew by the Catholic Church.

Moses was often depicted with two horns on his head as a result of the Latin mis-rendering of the verb “sent forth beams” (karan) in Exodus 34:35 as “grew horns.”


  • The Hebrew word for "horn" is keren (קרן)
  • The Hebrew word for ray or beam of light is keren (קרן)


This image, which was widely portrayed in art of the Middle Ages by artists including Michelangelo and Donatello in Italy, led to the widespread notion that all Jews had devilish horns.
