Daniel 1:15-16

1:15 At the end of the ten days their appearance was better and their bodies were healthier than all the young men who had been eating the royal delicacies. 1:16 So the warden removed the delicacies and the wine from their diet and gave them a diet of vegetables instead.


tn Heb “fat of flesh”; KJV, ASV “fatter in flesh”; NASB, NRSV “fatter” (although this is no longer a sign of health in Western culture).

tn Heb “the wine of their drinking.”

tn The words “from their diet” are not in the Hebrew text but have been added in the translation for clarity.
