**with corn** = in the open field. Hebrew. *bar. A Homonym* with three meanings: (1) *pure, clear, clean* ([Job 11:4](../../../kjv/job/11/4) .[Song of Solomon 6:9](../../../kjv/song-of-solomon/6/9) , [Song of Solomon 6:10](../../../kjv/song-of-solomon/6/10) .

[Joel 2:24](../../../kjv/joel/2/24) , &c); (2) *the ground,* or *open field* ([Job 39:4](../../../kjv/job/39/4) ), because bare and clean. Compare [Proverbs 14:4](../../../kjv/proverbs/14/4) ; (3) *ton:* see note on [Psalms 2:12](../../../kjv/psalms/2/12) .

**ass.** Probably = mule.

**the unicorn** = the wild bull.

**trust** = confide in. Hebrew. *batah.* App-69 .

**Gavest thou.** The Ellipsis ( App-6 ) is correctly supplied.

**thunder** = rustling mane.
