Numbers 23:22

Unicorne] So Deut. XXXIII. 17. Job XXXIX. 9, 10. Psal. XXII. 21. and XXIX. 6. and XCII. 10. Esay XXXIV. 7. Yet the translation of the word is doubted of; or at least the nature of the beast, such as the Pensil of our Painters doth portray out unto us; because no such beast was known or seen by any man. And the Unicornes horne so deemed, is of some strange Fish, not of any known Beast. Some learned render the word Bufale, or Buff; or else the wild Oxe called by the Latines Urus; eminent for bignesse, strength, hornes, and untamable fiercenesse.
