01 : 06 Now among these <01992 +hem > were of the children

01 : 07 Unto whom <01992 +hem > the prince <08269 +sar > of the
eunuchs <05631 +cariyc > gave <07760 +suwm > names <08034 +shem

+Belt@sha>tstsar > ; and to Hananiah <02608 +Chananyah > , of

01 : 08 . But Daniel <01840 +Daniye>l > purposed <07760 +suwm >
in his heart <03820 +leb > that he would not defile <01351

requested <01245 +baqash > of the prince <08269 +sar > of the
eunuchs <05631 +cariyc > that he might not defile <01351 +ga>al

01 : 09 Now God <00430 +>elohiym > had brought <05414 +nathan >
Daniel <01840 +Daniye>l > into favour <02617 +checed > and
tender love with the prince <08269 +sar > of the eunuchs <05631

01 : 10 And the prince <08269 +sar > of the eunuchs <05631
+cariyc > said <00559 +>amar > unto Daniel <01840 +Daniye>l > ,
I fear <03373 +yare> > my lord <00113 +>adown > the king <04428
+melek > , who <00834 +>aher > hath appointed <04487 +manah >
your meat <03978 +ma>akal > and your drink <04960 +mishteh > :
for why <04100 +mah > should he see <07200 +ra>ah > your faces
<06440 +paniym > worse <02196 +za<aph > liking than <04480 +min

your sort <01524 +giyl > ? then shall ye make [ me ] endanger
<02325 +chuwb > my head <07218 +ro>sh > to the king <04428
+melek > .
01 : 11 Then said <00559 +>amar > Daniel <01840 +Daniye>l > to
Melzar <04453 +meltsar > , whom <00834 +>aher > the prince
<08269 +sar > of the eunuchs <05631 +cariyc > had set <04487

<02608 +Chananyah > , Mishael <04332 +Miysha>el > , and Azariah
<05838 +<Azaryah > ,
01 : 12 Prove <05254 +nacah > thy servants <05650 +<ebed > , I
beseech <04994 +na> > thee , ten <06235 +<eser > days <03117
+yowm > ; and let them give <05414 +nathan > us pulse <02235
+zeroa< > to eat <00398 +>akal > , and water <04325 +mayim > to
drink <08354 +shathah > .
01 : 13 Then let our countenances <04758 +mar>eh > be looked
<07200 +ra>ah > upon before <06440 +paniym > thee , and the
countenance <04758 +mar>eh > of the children <03206 +yeled >
that eat <00398 +>akal > of the portion <06598 +pathbag > of the
king s <04428 +melek > meat <06598 +pathbag > : and as thou
seest <07200 +ra>ah > , deal <06213 +<asah > with thy servants
<05650 +<ebed > .
01 : 14 So he consented <08085 +shama< > to them in this <02088
+zeh > matter <01697 +dabar > , and proved <05254 +nacah > them
ten <06235 +<eser > days <03117 +yowm > .
01 : 15 And at the end <07117 +q@tsath > of ten <06235 +<eser >
days <03117 +yowm > their countenances <04758 +mar>eh > appeared
<07200 +ra>ah > fairer <02896 +towb > and fatter <01277 +bariy>

the children <03206 +yeled > which did eat <00398 +>akal > the
portion <06598 +pathbag > of the king s <04428 +melek > meat
<06598 +pathbag > .
01 : 16 Thus Melzar <04453 +meltsar > took <05375 +nasa> > away
the portion <06598 +pathbag > of their meat <06598 +pathbag > ,
and the wine <03196 +yayin > that they should drink <04960
+mishteh > ; and gave <05414 +nathan > them pulse <02235 +zeroa<

01 : 17 . As for these <00428 +>el - leh > four <00702 +>arba<

+nathan > them knowledge <04093 +madda< > and skill <07919
+sakal > in all <03605 +kol > learning <05612 +cepher > and
wisdom <02451 +chokmah > : and Daniel <01840 +Daniye>l > had
understanding <00995 +biyn > in all <03605 +kol > visions <02377
+chazown > and dreams <02472 +chalowm > .
01 : 18 Now at the end <07117 +q@tsath > of the days <03117
+yowm > that the king <04428 +melek > had said <00559 +>amar >
he should bring <00935 +bow> > them in , then the prince <08269

them in before <06440 +paniym > Nebuchadnezzar <05019
+N@buwkadne>tstsar > .
01 : 19 And the king <04428 +melek > communed <01696 +dabar >
with them ; and among them all <03605 +kol > was found <04672
+matsa> > none <03808 +lo> > like Daniel <01840 +Daniye>l > ,
