How strong is a Unicorn -Numbers 24 v8?

Answer 1

The unicorn referred to in Numbers 24:8 and also in Numbers 23:22, Job39:9 and Psalm 92:10 is the extinct aurochs or wild ox. This was indeed a fierce animal which once inhabited the region where The Bible was written.

8God brought him forth out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn: he shall eat up the nations his enemies, and shall break their bones, and pierce them through with his arrows. Apparently this beast was quite a large animal and the figurative language describes in poetic form some of his attributes, not of course in a scientific manner, but nevertheless apt.

Answer 2

In Numbers 24:8, the reference to a unicorn is actually a mistranslation. The correct term is "wild ox" or "ox" in most modern versions of the Bible. So, it does not refer to the mythical creature and its strength, but rather to a powerful and untamed animal like the wild ox.
