Please don't say it's a incorrect translation because if that is true then lots of other words and meaning must have been translated incorrectly as well.

Isaiah 34:7,and other places
2007-12-30 03:57:52 · update #1
Isaiah 34:7 And the unicorns (ְרֵאם) 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.
What does "unicorn" mean in English? It means "uni" - 1 and "corn" or "horn" and refers to an animal that has one horn. Don't blame the Bible if people later on added their own imaginations to this word and invented a horse with a spiral horn coming out of it's forehead.
ְרֵאם
rêm - From H7213; a wild bull (from its conspicuousness): - unicorn.
H7213
ראם
râ'am
raw-am'
A primitive root; to rise: - be lifted up.

Acts 26:28 Then Agrippa stated to Paul, “Do you think of that for the time of certainly one of those couple of minutes you could convince me to be a Christian?” 1peter 4:sixteen in spite of if, in case you go through as a Christian, don't be ashamed, yet compliment God which you undergo that call. acts 11:26 and while he chanced on him, he delivered him to Antioch. So for an entire twelve months Barnabas and Saul met with the church and taught great numbers of human beings. The disciples have been talked approximately as Christians first at Antioch. The trinity isn't interior the bible.The trinity is greater of a Catholic element ( which Catholics no longer interior the bible and why i'm nondenominational Christian) The observe bible comes from the Greek observe biblos meaning e book. that's greater of a descriptive observe then a call for this reason that's talked approximately using fact the Holly Bible ( the e book of God).

“wild ox” (aurochs), which is the correct meaning of the Hebrew re’em
Asimov tells us that there is a certain animal, known to the writers of the Hebrew Scriptures as the ראם (”re’em”) and to modern zoologists as the aurochs (Bos primigenius) or wild ox, that is often portrayed in Mesopotamian murals and bas-reliefs as well as the famous Lascaux (Cro-magnon) cave paintings.
The aurochs is nearly always shown in profile, so that one horn is completely hidden behind the other. It thus appears to have only one horn, and apparently it was sometimes nicknamed “the one-horned.” It is completely extinct today (despite being an ancestor of the modern domesticated cow), and even in the time of the scholars who translated the Psalms from Hebrew into Greek for the Septuagint (LXX), it was seldom seen, certainly in Egypt.

Isaiah 34:7 does NOT mention unicorns. It reads, "Wild oxen shall fall with them, and young steers with the mighty bulls. Their land shall be soaked with blood, and their soil made rich with fat."
Whatever version of the Bible you are reading, get rid of it and obtain a good Bible.

Is there some reason the Bible should not mention unicorns??
Just because you haven't seen a unicorn, doesn't mean that they could not exist.
There are more things in heaven and earth (not to mention the rest of creation) than we have ever dreamed of...

In my old Masonic KJV, it says 'rihnoserous' in the margin.
