  • <1431 gadal > them three <7969 shalowsh > years <8141 shaneh >,
  • that at the
  • end <7117 q@tsath > thereof they might stand <5975 <amad >
  • before <6440
  • paniym > the king <4428 melek >.
  • 6 Now among these <1992 hem > were of the children <1121 ben >

  • <3063 Y@huwdah >, Daniel <1840 Daniye>l >, Hananiah <2608
  • Chananyah >,

  • Meyshak >; and
  • to Azariah <5838 <Azaryah >, of Abednego <5664 <Abed N@gow >.
  • 8. But Daniel <1840 Daniye>l > purposed <7760 suwm > in his
  • heart <3820 leb
  • > that he would not defile <1351 ga>al > himself with the
  • portion <6598
  • pathbag > of the king's <4428 melek > meat <6598 pathbag >, nor
  • with the wine
  • <3196 yayin > which he drank <4960 mishteh >: therefore he
  • requested <1245
  • baqash > of the prince <8269 sar > of the eunuchs <5631 cariyc >
  • that he
  • might not defile <1351 ga>al > himself.
  • 9 Now God <0430 >elohiym > had brought <5414 nathan > Daniel
  • <1840 Daniye>l
  • > into favour <2617 checed > and tender love with the prince
  • <8269 sar > of

  • 10 And the prince <8269 sar > of the eunuchs <5631 cariyc >
  • said <0559 >amar
  • > unto Daniel <1840 Daniye>l >, I fear <3373 yare> > my lord
  • <0113 >adown >
  • the king <4428 melek >, who <0834 >aher > hath appointed <4487
  • manah > your
  • meat <3978 ma>akal > and your drink <4960 mishteh >: for why
  • <4100 mah >
  • should he see <7200 ra>ah > your faces <6440 paniym > worse
  • <2196 za<aph >
  • liking than <4480 min > the children <3206 yeled > which <0834
  • >aher > [are]
  • of your sort <1524 giyl >? then shall ye make [me] endanger
  • <2325 chuwb > my
  • head <7218 ro>sh > to the king <4428 melek >.
  • 11 Then said <0559 >amar > Daniel <1840 Daniye>l > to Melzar
  • <4453 meltsar
  • >, whom <0834 >aher > the prince <8269 sar > of the eunuchs
  • <5631 cariyc >
  • had set <4487 manah > over <5921 <al > Daniel <1840 Daniye>l >,
  • Hananiah
  • <2608 Chananyah >, Mishael <4332 Miysha>el >, and Azariah <5838
  • <Azaryah >,
  • 12 Prove <5254 nacah > thy servants <5650 <ebed >, I beseech
  • <4994 na> >
  • thee, ten <6235 <eser > days <3117 yowm >; and let them give
  • <5414 nathan >
  • us pulse <2235 zeroa< > to eat <0398 >akal >, and water <4325
  • mayim > to
  • drink <8354 shathah >.
  • 13 Then let our countenances <4758 mar>eh > be looked <7200
  • ra>ah > upon
  • before <6440 paniym > thee, and the countenance <4758 mar>eh >
  • of the
  • children <3206 yeled > that eat <0398 >akal > of the portion
  • <6598 pathbag >
  • of the king's <4428 melek > meat <6598 pathbag >: and as thou
  • seest <7200
  • ra>ah >, deal <6213 <asah > with thy servants <5650 <ebed >.
  • 14 So he consented <8085 shama< > to them in this <2088 zeh >
  • matter <1697
  • dabar >, and proved <5254 nacah > them ten <6235 <eser > days
  • <3117 yowm >.
  • 15 And at the end <7117 q@tsath > of ten <6235 <eser > days
  • <3117 yowm >
  • their countenances <4758 mar>eh > appeared <7200 ra>ah > fairer
  • <2896 towb >
  • and fatter <1277 bariy> > in flesh <1320 basar > than <4480 min
  • > all <3605

  • portion
  • <6598 pathbag > of the king's <4428 melek > meat <6598 pathbag >.
  • 16 Thus Melzar <4453 meltsar > took <5375 nasa> > away the
  • portion <6598
  • pathbag > of their meat <6598 pathbag >, and the wine <3196
  • yayin > that they
  • should drink <4960 mishteh >; and gave <5414 nathan > them pulse
  • <2235 zeroa<
  • >.
  • 17. As for these <0428 >el-leh > four <0702 >arba< > children
  • <3206 yeled >,
  • God <0430 >elohiym > gave <5414 nathan > them knowledge <4093
  • madda< > and
  • skill <7919 sakal > in all <3605 kol > learning <5612 cepher >
  • and wisdom
  • <2451 chokmah >: and Daniel <1840 Daniye>l > had understanding
  • <0995 biyn >
  • in all <3605 kol > visions <2377 chazown > and dreams <2472

  • 18 Now at the end <7117 q@tsath > of the days <3117 yowm > that
  • the king
  • <4428 melek > had said <0559 >amar > he should bring <0935 bow>
  • > them in,
  • then the prince <8269 sar > of the eunuchs <5631 cariyc >
  • brought <0935 bow>
  • > them in before <6440 paniym > Nebuchadnezzar <5019
  • N@buwkadne>tstsar >.
  • 19 And the king <4428 melek > communed <1696 dabar > with them;

  • Azariah <5838 <Azaryah >: therefore stood <5975 <amad > they
  • before <6440
  • paniym > the king <4428 melek >.
  • 20 And in all <3605 kol > matters <1697 dabar > of wisdom <2451
  • chokmah >
  • [and] understanding <0998 biynah >, that the king <4428 melek >
  • enquired
  • <1245 baqash > of them, he found <4672 matsa> > them ten <6235
