However, the one who sins against Heaven, is similar to one who has a horn of strength between their eyes rising straight upward, as if they wish to gore upward, so to speak. This follows the explanation of Rashi in Parshat Lech Lecha (14:2) regarding Shemever. Therefore, our Sages said (Shabbat 28b) that the ox that Adam offered had a single horn on its forehead. How did our Sages know to say this? If it is because it says more than a horned [bull] (Psalms 69:32) [which is written with a missing letter, implying one horn], perhaps the horn was on one of the sides, so how do we know it was on its forehead? Rather, certainly because Adam was alone in the world and did not sin against any creature except against God alone. Therefore, Adam resembled the form of an ox that has one horn on its forehead, because from there it rises upward. For so did he act like an animal and thought to be like God, knowing good and evil, which is like goring upward. Therefore, he needed to bring as his substitute an ox with one horn, and it was made available for him at that time, so that the substitute would resemble in every aspect the form of the sinner and his rebelliousness.
