And so God gave Daniel grace and mercy in the sight of the leader of the eunuchs.
And the leader of the eunuchs said to Daniel, “I am afraid of my lord the king, who has appointed food and drink for you, who, if he should see that your faces are leaner than those of the other youths your age, you would condemn my head to the king.”
And Daniel said to Malasar, whom the leader of the eunuchs had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah,
“I beg you to test us, your servants, for ten days, and let roots be given to us to eat and water to drink,
and then observe our faces, and the faces of the children who eat the king’s food, and then deal with your servants according to what you see.”
When he had heard these words, he tested them for ten days.
But, after ten days, their faces appeared better and fatter than all the children who had eaten from the king’s food.
