Numbers 23:22
El who freed them from Egypt has horns like a wild bull.

Hi Toto,

Thanks, Toto, I was trying to find this site by Walter R. Mattfeld to recommend it. It does bring together a lot of good information and images on the subject.

I'm more and more fascinated by the semiological interplay between symbols and the things they signify. It is ironic that attributing the concept of monotheism to the early Israelites should turn out to be some much bull.

Warmly,

Philosopher Jay
