11 And Dani’ĕl said to the overseer whom the chief of the eunuchs had set over Dani’ĕl, Ḥananyah, Misha’ĕl, and Azaryah,
12 “Please try your servants for ten days, and let them give us vegetables to eat and water to drink.
13 “Then let our appearances be examined before you, and the appearances of the young men who eat the portion of the sovereign’s food. And do with your servants as you see fit.”
14 And he listened to them in this matter, and tried them ten days.
15 And at the end of ten days their appearances looked better and fatter in flesh than all the young men who ate the portion of the sovereign’s food.
16 And it came to be that the overseer took away their portion of food and the wine they were to drink, and gave them vegetables.
17 As for these four young men, Elohim gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom. And Dani’ĕl had understanding in all visions and dreams.
