This an excerpt from Episode 1 of the Catholic Talk Show "7 Weird Things You May Have Missed In The Bible" - Watch The Full Episode Here:    • 7 Weird Things You May Have Missed In...  

The unicorn: a mythical animal known since antiquity as a beast with a single spiraled white horn projecting from its forehead. A creature commonplace in folktales, legends, and children’s stories, so why does the Holy Bible mention them a total of five times? The answer is a bit more complicated than you might think at first.

You might ask yourself why inerrant Scripture revealing Truth in the Word of God would mention a mythical fairytale creature. However, to understand why the Holy Bible would have unicorns included throughout requires a bit of context and also understanding of Biblical translations. If you’ve never noticed the unicorn mentioned throughout Bible, here are some specific mentions, using the Douay-Rheims translation:

• “Save me from the lion’s mouth; and my lowness from the horns of the unicorns.” – Psalm 21:22
• “And shall reduce them to pieces, as a calf of Libanus, and as the beloved son of unicorns.” – Psalm 28:6
• “And he built his sanctuary as of unicorns, in the land which he founded for ever.” – Psalm 77:69
• “But my horn shall be exalted like that of the unicorn: and my old age in plentiful mercy.” – Psalm 91:11
• “And the unicorns shall go down with them, and the bulls with the mighty: their land shall be soaked with blood, and their ground with the fat of fat ones.” – Isaiah 34:7
