Then Moses went up with Aaron...and seventy of the elders of Israel, and they saw the God of Israel...Yet He did not stretch out His hand against the nobles of the sons of Israel; and they saw God, and they ate and drank. (Exodus 24:9-11)

On the tenth heaven, which is called Aravoth, I saw the appearance of the Lord’s face, like iron made to glow in fire...emitting sparks, and it burns. Thus in a moment of eternity I saw the Lord's face, but the Lord’s face is...very awful, and very, very terrible. (Enoch 22:1-2)

God brought them out of Egypt; He has, as it were, the horn of a unicorn.(Numbers 23:22)

God brings him out of Egypt; He has horns like a wild ox. (Numbers 24:8)

Horns, in Moses' time, were a symbol of authority and power. Many gods, including YHVH have been depicted as having them. (Mary Sutherland)
