It can refer to the physical horn of an animal, which symbolizes strength and authority, or to rays of light, indicating glory or divine presence.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, horns were symbols of power and might. They were often used in religious and royal iconography to denote authority and divine favor. The imagery of horns is prevalent in biblical texts, where it can represent both physical strength and spiritual power. The concept of radiance or emitting rays is also significant, as it is associated with divine encounters and the glory of God.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of uncertain derivation<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>an Edomite<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Cheran (2).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">כְּרָ֫ן</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, masculine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>an Edomite</b></font> <a href="/interlinear/genesis/36-26.htm">Genesis 36:26</a> = <a href="/interlinear/1_chronicles/1-41.htm">1 Chronicles 1:41</a>. <p><font class="hebrew2">כִּרְסֵם</font> see below <font class="hebrew2">כסם</font> <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>Cheran <p>Of uncertain derivation;
