“Canst thou bind the unicorn with his band in the furrow? or will he harrow the valleys after thee?”
Job 39:10 (KJV)
Commentary on Job 39:10
"Canst thou bind the unicorn with his band in the furrow? or will he harrow the valleys after thee?" The "unicorn" (reem, רְאֵם, likely wild ox/aurochs) cannot be domesticated for plowing. The Hebrew emphasizes impossibility—no avot (rope) can bind it to furrows. God designed this powerful creature to remain wild despite its potential agricultural utility. This demonstrates that God's purposes for creation aren't limited to human use. Some things remain untamed by divine design, teaching humans to accept limits on their control.
