The horns the sculptor included on Moses' head are the result of a mistranslation of the Hebrew Bible into the Latin [[Vulgate|Vulgate Bible]] with which Michelangelo was familiar. The Hebrew word taken from ''Exodus'' means either a "horn" or an "irradiation". Experts at the [[Archaeological Institute of America]] show that the term was used when Moses "returned to his people after seeing as much of the Glory of the Lord as human eye could stand", and his face "reflected radiance".<ref>{{cite book |editor-last=MacLean |editor-first=Margaret |title=Art and Archaeology |volume=VI |publisher=Archaeological Institute of America |year=1917 |page=97}}</ref> In early [[Jewish culture#Visual arts and architecture|Jewish art]], moreover, Moses is often "shown with rays coming out of his head".<ref>{{cite book |last= Devore |first= Gary M. |title=Walking Tours of Ancient Rome: A Secular Guidebook to the Eternal City | publisher=Mercury Guides |year=2008 |page=126 |isbn= 978-0-615-19497-4}}</ref> Summary: Please note that all contributions to Christianpedia may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors.
