* face shone.
As the original word {karan,} signifies to shine out, or dart
forth, as horns on the head of an animal, or rays of light
reflected from a polished surface, we may suppose that the
heavenly glory which filled the soul of this holy man, darted
out from his face in coruscations, in the manner in which
light is generally represented. The Vulgate renders it, {et
ignorabat quod cornuta esset facies sua,} "and he did not
know that his face was horned;" which version, misunderstood,
has induced painters to represent Moses with two very large
horns, one proceeding from each temple!
