Darby's French Translation
Dieu l'a fait sortir d'Égypte; il a comme la force des buffles; il dévorera les nations, ses ennemis; il cassera leurs os, et les frappera de ses flèches.
Louis Segond (1910)
Dieu l'a fait sortir d'Egypte, Il est pour lui comme la vigueur du buffle. Il dévore les nations qui s'élèvent contre lui, Il brise leurs os, et les abat de ses flèches.
La Bible David Martin (1744)
Le [Dieu] Fort qui l'a tiré d'Egypte, lui est comme les forces de la Licorne; il consumera les nations qui lui sont ennemies, il brisera leurs os, et les percera de ses flèches.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

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, :-: 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.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Numbers 24:8. God brought him forth out of Egypt — They were neither expelled thence, nor came voluntarily away. God alone, with a high hand and uplifted arm, brought them forth. Concerning the unicorn, Numbers 23:22; Numbers 23:22.
