“Test your servants, I beg you, ten days; and let them give us vegetables to eat, and water to drink.”
““Please test your servants for ten days by providing us with some vegetables to eat and water to drink.”
“Try, I beseech thee, thy servants for ten days, and let pulse be given us to eat, and water to drink:”
“Put your servants to the test for ten days; let them give us grain for our food and water for our drink.”

Now God had brought Daniel into favour and tender love with the prince of the eunuchs.
And the prince of the eunuchs said unto Daniel, I fear my lord the king, who hath appointed your meat and your drink: for why should he see your faces worse liking than the children which are of your sort? then shall ye make me endanger my head to the king.
Then said Daniel to Melzar, whom the prince of the eunuchs had set over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah,
Prove thy servants, I beseech thee, ten days; and let them give us pulse to eat, and water to drink.
Then let our countenances be looked upon before thee, and the countenance of the children that eat of the portion of the king’s meat: and as thou seest, deal with thy servants.
So he consented to them in this matter, and proved them ten days.
And at the end of ten days their countenances appeared fairer and fatter in flesh than all the children which did eat the portion of the king’s meat.
