God:
"He sentª° messengersª therefore unto¹ Balaamª the sonª of Beorª to Pethor,ª which¹ [is] by¹ the riverª of the landª of the childrenª of his people,ª to callª° him, saying,ª° Behold,¹ there is a peopleª come outª° from Egypt:ª¹ behold,¹ they coverª°¹ the faceª of the earth,ª and they¹ abideª° over againstª¹ me:" {Num 22:5} + "Godª brought him forthª° out of Egypt;ª¹ he hath as it were the strengthª of an unicorn:ª he shall eat upª° the nationsª his enemies,ª and shall breakª° their bones,ª and pierce²° [them] through¹ with his arrows.ª" {Num 24:8} + "And in very² deed²¹ for¹ this¹ [cause] have I raised thee up,ª° for¹ to shewª° [in] thee¹ my power;ª and that¹ my nameª may be declaredª° throughout all¹ the earth.ª" {Exd 9:16} + "And the Egyptiansª shall knowª° that¹ I¹ [am] the LORD,ª when I have gotten me honourª° upon Pharaoh,ª upon his chariots,ª and upon his horsemen.ª" {Exd 14:18} + "I¹ [am] the LORDª thy God,ª which¹ have brought²° thee out¹ of the landª¹ of Egypt,ª out of the houseª¹ of bondage.ª" {Exd 20:2} + "O God,ª [thou art] terribleª° out of thy holy places:ª¹ the Godª of Israelª [is] he¹ that givethª° strengthª and powerª unto [his] people.ª Blessedª° [be] God.ª" {Psa 68:35}
the strength:
"His gloryª [is like] the firstlingª of his bullock,ª and his hornsª [are like] the hornsª of unicorns:ª with them he shall pushª° the peopleª togetherª to the endsª of the earth:ª and they¹ [are] the ten thousandsª of Ephraim,ª and they¹ [are] the thousandsª of Manasseh.ª" {Deu 33:17} + "Canst thou bindª° the unicornª with his bandª in the furrow?ª or¹ will he harrowª° the valleysª afterª thee? ...

unicorn:
The reaim, most probably denotes the rhinoceros, so called from the horn on its nose. In size he is only exceeded by the elephant; and in strength and power inferior to none. He is at least twelve feet in length, from the snout to the tail; six or seven feet in height; and the circumference of the body is nearly equal to his length. He is particularly distinguished from all other animals by the remarkable and offensive weapon he carries on his nose; which is very hard horn, solid throughout, directed forward. He principally feeds upon large succulent plants, prickly shrubs, and branches; and delights in marshy places.
