  1. to shine, to glow

    Process by which an object appears to emit light

    Examples

    Exodus 34:29 And it came about, when Moses was coming down from Mount Sinai (and the two tablets of the testimony were in Moses’ hand as he was coming down from the mountain), that Moses did not know that the skin of his face shone because of his speaking with Him.

    Exodus 34:30 So when Aaron and all the sons of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone, and they were afraid to approach him.

    Exodus 34:35 the sons of Israel would see the face of Moses, that the skin of Moses’ face shone. So Moses would put the veil back over his face until he went in to speak with Him.

  2. to have horns

    State in which an animal has horns on its head

    Examples

    Psalm 69:31 And it will please the LORD better than an ox Or bull with horns and hoofs.

δοξάζω doxázō · G1392 · to praise, to glorify, praise
Greek δοξάζω (doxázō, G1392) serves as the LXX translation equivalent for Hebrew קָרַן (qâran, H7160) specifically in its 'shine' sense (Exodus 34:29-35, Moses' face shining with divine glory), capturing the glorification/radiance semantic overlap, though δοξάζω's broader 'glorify/honor' range extends beyond קָרַן's core 'have horns/shine' meanings.
