Job 39:9
_ _ unicorn — Pliny [Natural History, 8.21], mentions such an animal; its figure is found depicted in the ruins of Persepolis. The Hebrew reem conveys the idea of loftiness and power (compare Ramah; Indian, Ram; Latin, Roma). The rhinoceros was perhaps the original type of the unicorn. The Arab rim is a two-horned animal. Sometimes “unicorn” or reem is a mere poetical symbol or abstraction; but the buffalo is the animal referred to here, from the contrast to the tame ox, used in ploughing (Job 39:10, Job 39:12).
_ _ abide — literally, “pass the night.”
_ _ crib — (Isaiah 1:3). |
Job 39:9
Unicorn — It is disputed whether this be the Rhinoceros; or a kind of wild bull. |
Job 39:9
Will the unicorn be willing to (g) serve thee, or abide by thy crib?
(g) Is it possible to make the unicorn tame? signifying that if man cannot rule a creature, that it is much more impossible that he should appoint the wisdom of God, by which he governs all the world. |
