“But the princes, who are nevertheless powerful, threatening, terrible, and more to be feared than others, not only resorted to threats to scare me, but they persecuted in deed and showed all their terror. And behold, I still did not fear them, but rather stood in awe of Your words, so that I might conquer fear of them.” Therefore this is not the word of teenage girls, but of the bride herself. But when do we so despise ourselves (not to speak of princes) or the lowest men, that we do not stand in awe of them? Yes, we even quake before those who are not yet persecuting but only threatening a little bit, and we tremble at their word, but we are insensitive to the Word of God! But the church is not afraid of all the persecuting princes of the world, because she stands in awe of the words of God. This she would not do, unless, despising all things by faith, she savored eternal things alone. We would surely do the same, unless we were afraid that temporal things would be taken away, threatened, or not given. (Luther’s Works, v. 11, p.518)

Picture: The initial Letter “D” of the Foreword by Martin Luther for Das Alte Testament Deutsch, M. Luther, Wittemberg, 1523. The picture is Moses (in red) with horns, and Aaron the priest (in blue) with the Lord speaking to Moses. “Das alte testament halten ettlich geringe…” “The Old Testament retains some unimportant things …” From page II. = 2.
Pictures of Moses with horns (or rays of light). “A curious feature of medieval and renaissance depictions of Moses is that quite a few paintings and sculptures imagine him as horned. Indeed he looks a lot like a Pagan horned god in many of them.
Many scholars believe this was due to a mistranslation in the Vulgate, the Latin translation of the Hebrew scriptures completed by St. Jerome. The key verse is Exodus 34:29-30, which in the New International Version of the Bible reads as follows: “When Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the two tablets of the covenant law in his hands, he was not aware that his face was radiant because he had spoken with the Lord. When Aaron and all the Israelites saw Moses, his face was radiant, and they were afraid to come near him.”
The problem is this: the phrase “was radiant” is a translation of the Hebrew word “karan” which can also mean “was horned”. Only one Greek translation available to Jerome – that by the Jewish convert Aquila – understood “karan” to mean “had become horned.” Nonetheless, that is the definition that Jerome chose to go with.” (https://curiouschristian.blog/2019/08/12/the-horned-moses-in-medieval-art/)
