    Where in the Bible does it speak of unicorns?

    Question #43575. Asked by Hamlet..

    Kainantu

    Certain poetical passages of the biblical Old Testament refer to a strong and splendid horned animal called re’em. This word was translated “unicorn” or “rhinoceros” in many versions of the Bible, but many modern translations prefer “wild ox” (aurochs), which is the correct meaning of the Hebrew re’em. Encyclopaedia Britannica (1997), s.v. “Unicorn” (London: Encyclopaedia Britannica, Inc.), 12:129.

    The references:
    Job 39:9
    Job 39:10
    Deuteronomy 33:17
    Isiaih 34:7
    Numbers 23:22
    Numbers 24:8
    Psalms 22:21
    Psalms 29:6
    Psalms 92:10

    That speed-reading course was a great help!

    The Biblical (zionist) ox as a symbol of strength is used on the British coat of arms. But unfortunately it is inaccurate. It is wrongly represented as a one-horned horse. It sounds rather stupid, looks rather stupid and I wish it were changed. But its meaning is sacred and very important to me as a British national. It is tacit support of the Jewish state and I support this as a Christian.

    The ox when mentioned in the Bible is a symbol of strength to the Hebrew people and that is what it means to us.

    The lion also features on the coat of arms of our nation, symbolising absolute sovereignty under God as a nation ruled ultimately by Christ.
