Unicorns in the bible

We had a really old friend come and visit us and stay with us a while. It is always great having nice people around.

We had eaten dinner and we were talking and discussing scripture which is my favourite topic.

He then asked us what we feel about the unicorns mentioned in the scripture! What? I had never read this.

The translation I use, The Scriptures, does not mention unicorns. We took out the KJV and there they are!

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

If you Google unicorns in the Bible there is a lot of stuff there.
