Unicorn in the Bible

The King James Version (KJV) of the Bible mentions "unicorn" nine times, usually in reference to its great strength and horns, representing a powerful, untamable wild animal, likely an aurochs or rhinoceros rather than the mythical horse

. Key verses include Job 39:9-10, Numbers 23:22, and Psalm 29:6.

Key Unicorn Verses (KJV):

  • Numbers 23:22 (KJV): "God brought them out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn."

  • Psalm 22:21 (KJV): "Save me from the lion's mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns."
  • Psalm 29:6 (KJV): "He maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young unicorn."

Context:
The Hebrew word re'em was translated as monokeros in the Greek Septuagint and unicornis in the Latin Vulgate, leading to "unicorn" in the 1611 KJV. Most modern translations render this word as "wild ox" or "wild bull".
