| The Moses fountain, located on Mxc3xbcnsterplatz (German: Cathedral Plaza) was rebuilt in 1790xe2x80x931791. | WIKI |
| The Moses figure dates from the sixteenth century. | WIKI |
| The statue represents Moses bringing the Ten Commandments to the Tribes of Israel. | WIKI |
| [36] Moses is portrayed with two rays of light projecting from his head, which represent Exodus 34:29xe2x80x9335 which tells that after meeting with God the skin of Moses' face became radiant. | WIKI |
| The twin rays of light come from one longstanding tradition that Moses instead grew horns. | WIKI |
| Interpreted correctly, these two words form an expression meaning that Moses was enlightened, that "the skin of his face shone" (as with a gloriole), as the KJV has it. | WIKI |
| With apparent Biblical authority, and the added convenience of giving Moses a unique and easily identifiable visual attribute (something the other Old Testament prophets notably lacked), it remained standard in Western art to depict Moses with small horns until well after the mistranslation was realized by the Renaissance. | WIKI |
| In this depiction of Moses, the error has been identified but the artist has chosen to place horns of light on Moses' head to aid in identification. | WIKI |
