Daniel 1:14 Meaning and Commentary

Daniel 1:14

So he consented to them in all this matter
Or, "hearkened to them" ^F5; being convinced that it was a very reasonable request, and the matter was fairly put; and especially as he saw, if it succeeded to their wish, it would be to his profit; since the meat and drink of these four persons would be his perquisite, and fetch him money; pulse and water being to be obtained at an easy rate: and proved them ten days;
tried the experiment, by giving them pulse and water only during this time, in order to see how it would agree with them; and whether any visible alteration could be discerned in their countenances, so as to bring him or his master into suspicion and danger.

Daniel 1:14 In-Context

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.

16 Assim o encarregado tirou a comida especial e o vinho que haviam sido designados e em lugar disso lhes dava vegetais.
