Numbers 24:8

God brought him forth out of Egypt, he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn ,.... Here he repeats what he had said in a former prophecy; see Gill on Numbers 23:22 , he shall eat up the nations his enemies: the seven nations of Canaan, which should be subdued by Israel, and that with as much ease as a lion devours its prey; nor would the Canaanites be able to make any more resistance to them than a creature in the paws of a lion; and the phrase denotes the utter destruction of them:

and shall break their bones ; as the lion breaks the bones of such creatures that fall a prey to him; signifying that all their strength should be taken from them, their mighty men slain, and their fortified cities taken:

and pierce them through with his arrows : slay them utterly.
