Moses: Encyclopedia II - Moses - The horned Moses Due to a statement towards the end of the book of Exodus (at 34:29-35), in which Moses is depicted as having been disfigured due to his direct encounter with God, various traditions grew up as to what the disfigurement was. Jonathan Kirsch, in his book Moses: A Life, thought that, since Moses subsequently had to wear a veil to hide it, the disfigurement was a sort of "divine radiation burn". There is one longstanding and possibly pagan tradition that Moses grew horns. This is derived from a mistranslation of the Hebrew p ...

Moses: Encyclopedia - Blessing of Moses

The Blessing of Moses is a poem that appears in Deuteronomy at 33:2-27. According to the modern documentary hypothesis the poem was an originally separate text, that was inserted by the deuteronomist into the second edition (of 2), of the text which became Deuteronomy (i.e. was an addition in 'Dtr2'). The poem presents an opinion of the merits and attributes of each of the Tribes of Israel, and so can be compared with the Blessing of Jacob, which has the same theme. However, there is very little in common between the poems, exc ...

Moses: Encyclopedia - Moses de Leon

Rabbi Moses ben Shem-Tov de Leon (c. 1250-1305), also known simply as Moses de Leon, was a Spanish rabbi who is thought of as the composer the Zohar. It is a matter of controversy if the Zohar is his own work, or that he committed traditions going back to Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai in writing. He was born in León, Spain (hence his last name), and spent 30 years in Guadalajara before moving to Ávila, where he lived until his death. Other related archives1250, 1305, Guadalajara, Le

Moses: Encyclopedia - Aaron ben Moses ben Asher

Aaron ben Moses ben Asher (10th century) developed the Tiberian system for writing down vowel sounds in Hebrew. For over a thousand years he has been regarded by Jews of all streams around the world as having produced the most accurate version of the masoretic text. Since his day, both handwritten manuscripts of the Tanakh and printed versions strove to emulate his achievement and continue to do so. He was descended from a long line of Masoretes, starting with someone called Asher, but nothing is known about them other than the ...

Moses: New Age Spirituality Dictionary on Moses

Moses

(c. 1572 -1452 BC) Legendary founder of the Jewish religion and author of the first five books of the Bible (The Torah) (Thothmoses II - prince and high-priest of Egypt)

Moses simply means 'born of' in Egyptian, his native language. The name normally requires another name prefixed to it, such as Rameses (born of Ra) or Amenmosis (born of Amen)

It seems very likely that either Moses himself or some later scribe dropped the name of an Egyptian god from the front of his name. "
