Bible Verses With Unicorns

The term “unicorn” appears in some older Bible translations. Such as the King James Version, where it is used to describe a creature with great strength. Modern translations often use different terms, such as “wild ox” or “rhinoceros”. This is to reflect a more accurate understanding of the original Hebrew word.

Here are some Bible Verses With Unicorns:

1. Numbers 23:22 (KJV)
   “God brought them out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn.”
2. Numbers 24:8 (KJV)
   “God brought him forth out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn: he shall eat up the nations his enemies, and shall break their bones, and pierce them through with his arrows.”
3. Deuteronomy 33:17 (KJV)
   “His glory is like the firstling of his bullock, and his horns are like the horns of unicorns: with them he shall push the people together to the ends of the earth: and they are the ten thousands of Ephraim, and they are the thousands of Manasseh.”
4. Job 39:9 (KJV)
   “Will the unicorn be willing to serve thee, or abide by thy crib?”
5. Job 39:10 (KJV)
   “Canst thou bind the unicorn with his band in the furrow? or will he harrow the valleys after thee?”

In more recent translations, these references are often rendered as “wild ox” or “buffalo”. This is to better align with current understandings of ancient wildlife.
