[Bibliadatum entry report]

Entry: Daniel purposes not to defile himself with the king’s delicacies, and the steward tests them for ten days (event-dan-1-daniel-purposes-not-to-defile-himself-and-the-steward-tests-them-ten-days)
Address: https://bibliadatum.org/en/wiki/event/dan-1-daniel-purposes-not-to-defile-himself-and-the-steward-tests-them-ten-days
Current wording: Daniel 1:8–16: Daniel purposes in his heart that he would not defile himself with the king’s delicacies, nor with the wine which he drank, and requests of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself. The text says, “Now God made Daniel find kindness and compassion in the sight of the prince of the eunuchs.” The prince of the eunuchs says to Daniel, “I fear my lord the king, who has appointed your food and your drink. For why should he see your faces worse looking than the youths who are of your own age? Then you would endanger my head with the king.” Then Daniel says to the steward whom the prince of the eunuchs had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, “Test your servants, I beg you, ten days; and let them give us vegetables to eat and water to drink. Then let our faces be examined before you, and the face of the youths who eat of the king’s delicacies; and as you see, deal with your servants.” The text goes on, “So he listened to them in this matter, and tested them for ten days. At the end of ten days, their faces appeared fairer and they were fatter in flesh than all the youths who ate of the king’s delicacies.” So the steward takes away their delicacies and the wine that they were given to drink, and gives them vegetables. Neither edition names the steward. The Korean Revised Version gives the one title 환관장 (the chief of the eunuchs) at 1:8–11, where WEB reads “the prince of the eunuchs”, and at 1:12 reads 채식을 주어 먹게 하고 물을 주어 마시게 한 후에 (after giving us vegetables to eat and water to drink), where WEB reads “let them give us vegetables to eat and water to drink”.
