horns
Horn (the hard, projecting bony structure of animals, especially rams, bulls, and goats); by extension, horn-shaped object or feature, including flasks and vessels, corners or projections (such as those of an altar), and peaks (especially prominent points of mountains or hills). Figuratively, 'qeren' is also used for symbolic references to strength, dignity, power, and status, typically in poetic or prophetic passages. Occasionally denotes rays of light due to visual resemblance (as in Exodus 34:29-35).

two horns
| Morphological Notes | Common noun, dual number, absolute state; from קֶרֶן (qeren). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun קֶרֶן denotes a projecting horn or horn-like feature; the dual form קְרָנָיִם explicitly indicates two. Rendering it as "two horns" preserves both the concrete root sense of projection and the dual morphology. |
