Daniel 1:13 Meaning and Commentary

Daniel 1:13

Then let our countenances be looked upon before thee
And be thoroughly examined, whether any alteration is made therein for the worse: and the countenance of the children that eat of the portion of the
king's meat;
who were either Chaldean youths brought up in this manner; or rather young men of the Jews, who were not so scrupulous as Daniel and his companions, and made no objection to eating the king's food; let their countenances and ours be compared together: and as thou seest deal with thy servants:
if there is no difference, or we are not the worse for abstaining from the king's meat, then grant us our request, and continue to indulge us in this manner; but, if otherwise, do as thou wilt. Daniel, no doubt, in putting the matter on this issue, as it should turn out at the end of ten days, had a revelation or assurance from God how it would be, or he would never have ventured to put it to such a trial.

Daniel 1:13 In-Context

11 Pero Daniel dijo al mayordomo a quien el jefe de los oficiales habĂ­a nombrado sobre Daniel, AnanĂ­as, Misael y AzarĂ­as:
12 Te ruego que pongas a prueba a tus siervos por diez dĂ­as, y que nos den legumbres para comer y agua para beber.
13 Que se compare despuĂ©s nuestra apariencia en tu presencia con la apariencia de los jĂłvenes que comen los manjares del rey, y haz con tus siervos segĂșn lo que veas.
14 Los escuchĂł, pues, en esto y los puso a prueba por diez dĂ­as.
15 Al cabo de los diez dĂ­as su aspecto parecĂ­a mejor y estaban mĂĄs rollizos que todos los jĂłvenes que habĂ­an estado comiendo los manjares del rey.
