Unicorns - Mythical or Real??

If you have been a blog reader for a while, then you know that I really dislike unicorns. Like, REALLY. I'll buy them for the unicorn loving Pony Pals and I do have a few in my collection, but they are not my cuppa Vanilla Coke Zero.

Knowing that, and wanting to have a little fun with me, Denver Daughter Sarah sent me some references about unicorns existing. And not just any references, but references from the Bible.

Numbers 23:22 and again in Numbers 24:8 God brought them out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of a unicorn.

Deuteronomy 33:13 His glory is like the firstling of his bullock, and his horns are like the horns of unicorns

Job 39: 9 Will the unicorn be willing to serve thee, or abide by thy crib? 

Job 39:10 Canst thou bind the unicorn with his band in the furrow?

Psalm 22:21 Save me from the lion's mouth: for thou has heard me from the horns of the unicorns.

Psalma 29:6 He malketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young unicorn.

Psalm 92:10 But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn

Isaiah 34:7 And the unicorns shall come down with them, and the bullocks with the bulls

Having read the Bible, I had come across those references before, but never had I seen them all gathered together. (It did surprise me, though, to see just how many references to them there were in the Bible.)

I still don't like them. Nor do I take that as proof that they exist, now or in the past.

After all, there are references to dragons in the Old and New Testaments, too, and I don't believe in those, either. 

Take a look at Revelation 12:3-4, 7, 9; 13:4; 20:2 and  Isaiah 27:1 to check out a few of the dragon references.

So sorry, Sarah! Unlike the Cowardly Lion, I am not changing my mind.

 But that was a really nice try and you made your mama smile.
