~Moses persuaded right-minded persons to accompany him
in large numbers, to the place standing now as Jerusalem ... The Hebrew
word can also mean “horns,” and when
Michelangelo sculpted a marble Moses in 1515, he relied on Jerome's description in the Latin Vulgate translation. The resulting 235-cm-high
horned statue can be seen in Rome (S. Pietro in Vincoli) today ..

practices which the people observe .. The tyrannical government produced robbery; for the
rebels plundered both their own and the neighboring countries. Those also who shared in
the government seized upon the property of others, and ravaged a large part of Syria and
of Phoenicia. Respect, however, was paid to the Acropolis [Zion, or the Temple Mount in
Jerusalem]; it was not abhorred as the seat of tyranny, but honoured and venerated as a
temple ...
.. Such was Moses and his successors; their beginning was good, but they
degenerated.
