Unicorns in the Bible

Finding that reading Job has been a blessing. It's been a good reminder of God's sovereignty and the fact that though we don't know what's going on, God is still in control.

I was intrigued by one of yesterday's little side notes in the DWB (daily walk Bible) which mentioned the Mariana Trench so I looked it up today http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mariana_Trench - it sounds like Adrian's favourite pasta, but it's actually a dirty, great, big trench in the sea! It's nearly 11000m deep Wikipedia says 'If Mount Everest, the highest mountain on Earth at 8,848 metres (29,029 ft), were set in the deepest part of the Mariana Trench, there would be 2,076 metres (6,811 ft) of water left above it' 

Now that's deep! 

Also another intriguing inclusion in Job 39 about a unicorn! There are other mentions of unicorn in the Bible so I wanted to find out more... hence http://creation.com/the-unicorn - you may agree or disagree that it is supposed to be translated as a 'wild ox', but as for me and my imagination, we will think of unicorns
