4 de jeunes garçons sans défaut corporel, beaux de figure, doués de sagesse, d’intelligence et d’instruction, capables de servir dans le palais du roi, et à qui l’on enseignerait les lettres et la langue des Chaldéens.
5 Le roi leur assigna pour chaque jour une portion des mets de sa table et du vin dont il buvait, voulant les élever pendant trois années, au bout desquelles ils seraient au service du roi.
