- New Material: Knowledge - The person who gave Moses the horn was St. Jerome, who was the first person to translate the Bible into Latin. The name "Karen" means "rain of light" in Hebrew. However, "Karen" can also mean "horn", so St. Jerome wrongly translated that Moses came down from the Mt. Sinai with horns on, instead of shining with light. As a result several artists including Michelangelo depicted Moses with horns.
