Great news unicorns are real.
Deuteronomy 33:17
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 (KJV).
Psalm 22:21
Save me from the lion's mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns (KJV).
Isaiah 34:7
And the unicorns shall come down with them, and the bullocks with the bulls; and their land shall be soaked with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness (KJV).
Do you believe in unicorns? Where can I meet one? I would love to pet it.

Okay F U C * face,
My Bible (NIV) says:
Deuteronomy33:17-In majesty he is like a firstborn bull;
his horns are the horns of a wild ox, with them he will gore the nations even those at the ends of the earth.
Such are the ten thousands of Ephraim;
such are the thousands of
Manasseh.
Psalm22:21-Rescue me from the mouth of the lisons;
save me from the horns of the wild
oxen.
Isaiah 34:7-And the wild oxen will fall with them,
the bull calves and the great bull.
Their land will be drenched with
blood,
and the dust will be soaked with fat.
Quite a a bit different from the unicorn you mention.
Did you think that no one would look it up?
No, I don't believe in unicorns.
:)
Peace out Fu** Face

THESE scriptures do not refer to a mythological creature. As most will say that "unicorns" are "calm and loving; loyal and faithful" in manner; in mythology.
In his commentary on Job, Henry Morris stated, "The Hebrew word translated unicorn in this and other passages is believed by most Hebrew scholars to refer to the huge and fierce aurochs or wild ox, which inhabited the Middle East and other regions but is now extinct" (p. 107). W. L. Alexander wrote, "The reem is supposed to be the aurochs, an animal of the bovine species, allied to the buffalo, now extinct" (The Pulpit Commentary, III, p. 537).

The word "unicorns" appears in the King James Bible only. This is one of many translational errors in that version, due to the fact that the translators assigned by King James simply were not expert in the ancient languages. They didn't realize that the Hebrew phrase "horned beasts" referred to cattle, not unicorns. The passage is correctly translated in every other version of the Bible.

It also mentions that great leviathin. Have you seen one of those lately? How about a cony? Do you know what a cony is? It is ANY small animal like a rabbit or squirrel. The unicorn is an animal with one horn. Uni means one. Corn refers to horn. Get it?! It does not mean the mythical unicorn horse. I have NEVER seen nor heard of a horse with a horn. (Except in mythology, of course.)

In the 16th Century when the King James version was translated, they translated a one-horned animal as being a unicorn.

The word literally means "one-horned beast." The early english translators took it as "unicorn." With a better understanding of the word today, we know that it was not a mythical type of unicorn, but simply an animal with one horn.

Sure there were unicorns in times past. We don't have them today because they were all killed/ You can ask God if they were real when you stand at the White Throne Judgment and give an account of why you try to disprove God Word. Revelation 20: 13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. Revelation 20: 14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. Revelation 20: 15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

It is commonly accepted that the Animal called a Unicorn in The Bible is a Rhinoceros. Different Name, same critter !

I think it depends on the version you would use. Which is why everything you read in any religious text is subject to interpretation, and why so many factions like to, and are able to, argue with each other over the same texts.
But, I'd like to ride a unicorn, yes!

Ever heard of extinction?
Seriously. Unicorn means one horn so any one horned goat cold be called a unicorn. But I suspect it is more metaphoric.
