Daniel 1:13

13 Depois compare a nossa aparência com a dos jovens que comem a comida do rei, e trate os seus servos de acordo com o que você concluir”.

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 Daniel disse então ao homem que o chefe dos oficiais tinha encarregado de cuidar dele e de Hananias, Misael e Azarias:

12 “Peço que faça uma experiência com os seus servos durante dez dias: Não nos dê nada além de vegetais para comer e água para beber.

13 Depois compare a nossa aparência com a dos jovens que comem a comida do rei, e trate os seus servos de acordo com o que você concluir”.

14 Ele concordou e fez a experiência com eles durante dez dias.

15 Passados os dez dias, eles pareciam mais saudáveis e mais fortes do que todos os jovens que comiam a comida da mesa do rei.
