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!
