Unicorn There are at least seven distinct passages where this animal is named, and it seems to us throwing contempt upon the sacred pages to assert that, because the unicorn cannot now be identified with any existing species, therefore it was a fabulous creature. Not so; it was an animal well-known in early times, at least to Israel. This horned creature is noted for its size, strength, ferocity, and untamableness, for which see the several passages. Psa. 22:21; Isa. 34:7.

2. A symbol of the agonies of death. Num. 23:22; Psa. 22:21.
