Daniel 1:11-13

1:11 Daniel then spoke to the warden 1  whom the overseer of the court officials had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah: 1:12 “Please test your servants for ten days by providing us with some vegetables to eat and water to drink. 1:13 Then compare our appearance 2  with that of 3  the young men who are eating the royal delicacies; 4  deal with us 5  in light of what you see.”

1 sn Having failed to convince the overseer, Daniel sought the favor of the warden whom the overseer had appointed to care for the young men.

2 tn Heb “let our appearance be seen before you.”

3 tn Heb “the appearance of.”

4 tn Heb “delicacies of the king.” So also in v. 15.
