The Meaning of the "Horn"
Commentators explain that the "horn" is a powerful biblical symbol for strength, power, and status. The warning, "Lift not up the horn," is a command against using one's influence, wealth, or authority with arrogance and pride. It's a call to humility, reminding the powerful not to oppress others or act as if their strength is their own.
