It teaches us that trials can be opportunities to demonstrate God's power and faithfulness in our lives. Lists and Questions Top 10 Lessons from Daniel 1What did Jesus mean by 'hair like wool'? What is the Tribulation? Does Daniel 1:12-15 realistically depict that a mere ten-day vegetable diet could visibly improve health compared to the king's provisions? What are the ten days of tribulation?Verse 14. - So he consented to them in this matter, and proved them ten days. The literal rendering is, And he hearkened unto them as to this matter, proved them ten days. The Septuagint reading is again peculiar, "And he dealt with them after this manner, and proved them ten days." ישמע is not very unlike יעשה, nor לדבד very unlike כדבר, and this is all the change implied.

('asayh), imperative of the same verb, precedes almost immediately, the word might come in by accident, or another word somewhat like it might be misread into it. The consent of the subordinate official implies, if not the consent, at least the connivance, of the superior. As we have already explained from the arrangements of a Babylonian feast, the plan of the Hebrew youths could the more easily be carried out. Parallel Commentaries ...
