The king speaks to Ashpenaz, the master of his eunuchs, that he should bring in youths of the children of Israel, and the prince of the eunuchs gives names to them

왕이 환관장 아스부나스에게 명하여 이스라엘 자손 중에서 소년을 데려오게 하고 환관장이 그들의 이름을 고침

Daniel 1:3–7: the king speaks to Ashpenaz, the master of his eunuchs, that he should bring in some of the children of Israel, even of the royal offspring and of the nobles, youths in whom was no defect, but well-favored, skillful in all wisdom, endowed with knowledge, understanding science, and who had the ability to stand in the king’s palace; and that he should teach them the learning and the language of the Chaldeans. The king appoints for them a daily portion of the king’s delicacies and of the wine which he drank, and that they should be nourished three years, that at its end they should stand before the king. The text says, “Now among these of the children of Judah were Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. The prince of the eunuchs gave names to them: to Daniel he gave the name Belteshazzar; to Hananiah, Shadrach; to Mishael, Meshach; and to Azariah, Abednego.” The Korean Revised Version gives 1:3 only 명하여 (commanded) and closes the king’s command at 1:4 (데려오게 하였고, had them brought), where WEB has “that he should bring in” at 1:3; it gives the one title 환관장 (the chief of the eunuchs) at 1:3 and at 1:7, where WEB reads “the master of his eunuchs” at 1:3 and “the prince of the eunuchs” at 1:7; and at 1:7 it reads 그들의 이름을 고쳐 (changed their names), where WEB reads “gave names to them”.
