Happy Shavuot! ✡ ""Moses Came Down From Mount Sinai"

When Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the two tables of the testimony in hand... he knew not that the skin of his face had become radiant. EXODUS (34:29)   וַיְהִי בְּרֶדֶת מֹשֶׁה מֵהַר סִינַי וּשְׁנֵי לֻחֹת הָעֵדֻת בְּיַד מֹשֶׁה בְּרִדְתּוֹ מִן הָהָר וּמֹשֶׁה לֹא יָדַע כִּי קָרַן עוֹר פָּנָיו בְּדַבְּרוֹ אִתּו שמות ל’’ד:כ’’ט va-y'-HEE b'-re-DET mo-SHE may-HAR see-NAI u-sh'-NAY lu-KHOT ha-ay-DUT b'-YAD mo-SHE b'-rid-TO min ha-HAR u-mo-SHE lo ya-DA kee ka-RAN or pa-NAV b'-dab-RO i-TO

Today's Israel Inspiration This is one of the worst example of a mistranslation from the original, Hebrew text of the Torah. The Hebrew words  קָרַן עוֹר / "ka-ran or" mean that his face was radiant, but when Pope Julius II commissioned Michelangelo to sculpt Moses receiving the Tablets, they misinterpreted the words to mean that there were horns of light coming from him, hence the now famous - but erroneous - depiction of a horned Moses sitting in Rome. There is nothing like studying the Bible in its REAL language: Hebrew!
