In size he is only exceeded by the elephant; and in strength and power inferior to none. He is at least twelve feet in length, from the snout to the tail; six or seven feet in height; and the circumference of the body is nearly equal to his length. He is particularly distinguished from all other animals by the remarkable and offensive weapon he carries on his nose; which is very hard horn, solid throughout, directed forward. He principally feeds upon large succulent plants, prickly shrubs, and branches; and delights in marshy places.ReciprocalNumbers 9:22 - abode; Esther 4:14 - then shall; Job 39:9 - the; Psalm 29:6 - unicorn; 74:12 - God; 77:10 - the years; 92:10 - an unicorn; Isaiah 34:7 - unicorns Verse 23no enchantmentNumbers 22:6, 24:1; Genesis 3:15; Matthew 12:25, 12:27, 16:18; Luke 10:18, 10:19; Romans 16:20; Revelation 12:9 againstor, inaccordingPsalm 44:1-3, 136:13-20; Isaiah 63:9-12; Daniel 9:15; Micah 6:4, 6:5, 7:15 What hathPsalm 31:19, 64:9, 126:2, 126:3; Isaiah 41:4; John 11:47; Acts 4:16, 5:12, 5:14; 10:38, 15:12; Galatians 1:23, 1:24; 1 Thessalonians 1:8, 1:9ReciprocalGenesis 21:7 - Who; Exodus 6:1 - Now shalt; Leviticus 1:3 - a burnt; Numbers 1:28 - General; 22:12 - thou shalt not curse; 23:8 - General; 24:23 - when God; Deuteronomy 32:31 - General; Nehemiah 6:16 - for they perceived; Psalm 28:5 - operation; 46:8 - Come; 66:5 - Come; 105:1 - make known; 109:28 - Let them; Isaiah 41:20 - General; Mark 12:11 - General; Acts 9:21 - amazed; 2 Thessalonians 1:10 - to be glorified Verse 24as a greatNumbers 24:8, 24:9; Genesis 49:9; Deuteronomy 33:20; Psalm 17:12; Proverbs 30:30; Isaiah 31:4; Amos 3:8; Revelation 5:5 he shallNumbers 24:17; Genesis 49:27; Daniel 2:44; Micah 5:8, 5:9; Zechariah 10:4, 10:5, 12:6; Revelation 19:11-21ReciprocalGenesis 49:28 - the twelve; Leviticus 1:3 - a burnt; 1 Kings 10:20 - lions; 2 Chronicles 9:18 - two lions; Job 4:11 - old lion; 38:40 - General; Psalm 57:3 - from the reproach of him; 58:6 - young; Revelation 4:7 - the first beast Verse 25Psalm 2:1-3Reciprocal1 Chronicles 9:28 - the charge Verse 26Numbers 23:12, 23:13, 22:18, 22:38, 24:12, 24:13; 1 Kings 22:14; 2 Chronicles 18:13; Acts 4:19, 4:20, 5:29ReciprocalNumbers 22:20 - but yet; 23:17 - What Verse 27ComeNumbers 23:13 peradventure23:19, 23:20; Job 23:13; Proverbs 19:21, 21:30; Isaiah 14:27, 46:10, 46:11; Malachi 3:6; Romans 11:29ReciprocalLeviticus 1:3 - a burnt; Micah 6:5 - Shittim Verse 28JeshimonNumbers 21:20ReciprocalIsaiah 16:12 - when; Ezekiel 21:21 - to use Verse 29Numbers 23:1, 23:2Reciprocal22:17 - and I will do; 23:14 - built seven; 1 Chronicles 15:26 - bullocks; 2 Chronicles 29:21 - seven; Job 42:8 - seven bullocks; Micah 6:6 - with Verse 30ReciprocalLeviticus 1:3 - a burnt; Numbers 22:17 - and I will do; 22:40 - General; 23:2 - offered; 2 Samuel 15:12 - while he offered; Micah 6:6 - with
