Tell us something interesting (random facts thread)

Hey guys, just something really funny, which I encountered in the last week. Did you know that there are unicorns in the Bible? Look at: Deutronomy 33:17
His glory is like the firstling of his bullock, and his horns are like the horns of unicorns: with them he shall push the people together to the ends of the earth: and they are the ten thousands of Ephraim, and they are the thousands of Manasseh.”
Just a fun fact. Does anybody know what is meant by that? ^^

Horn usually symbolizes strength and power in the Bible, by the virtue of being lifted up, and because it enables a normally herbivorous animal to fight, giving one who isn't a devourer, strength.
It probably refers to rhinoceros:
https://creationtoday.org/why-does-the-bible-mention-unicorns/
People have read into it throughout the Middle Ages and created unicorn mythology.
But unicorns exist even nowadays in the sense of sheep or goat, that have a natural genetic mutation and grow one horn. So yeah there are real unicorns more in the way we usually imagine them, even today.

I L O V E soup!!!!
I love it so much I should be SOOOOOO tall!!!! because my family told me "if you eat soup; you will grow tall" I am only 5 foot. They lied.

That's funny ! When I was a child. My Grandma use to tell me that if I kept drinking her coffee I was going to stay short. I'm 6"tall...

Hello Sebastian98, a unicorn is believed to be a "wild ox" (NASB), or as @SoulWeaver just said, a rhinoceros.

p.s. - still, it's much more fun to think of them like some of @Magenta's artwork portrays them, isn't it

Yeah, it broke my world when someone said that unicorns were in fact (probably, so there’s still hope😊) rhinos😢😂.

 

[Tinkerbell725]

Rhinos have two horns, big and small, except for the one horned indian rhino.
