I've heard that a mistranslation is how this thing started "horns of light" etc. -- Cf. Michelangelo's Moses -- but I'll defer to actual scholars of that if there's a more accurate answer.

I did a deep subversion of orc tropes in the novel I'm querying, but they are not Jew-coded orcs.

I like this idea tho'
