Daniel 1:16 in Context — Daniel 1

14 E ele consentiu-lhes nisto, e fez teste com eles por dez dias.

15 E ao fim dos dez dias foi visto que eles estavam com rostos de melhor aparência e mais bem nutridos que os outros rapazes que comiam da porção de alimento do rei.

16 Foi assim que Melsar lhes tirou a porção de alimento deles, e o vinho que deviam beber, e continuou a lhes dar legumes.

17 Quanto a estes quatro rapazes, Deus lhes deu conhecimento e inteligência em todas as letras e sabedoria; Daniel, porém, teve entendimento em toda visão e sonhos.

18 E quando terminaram os dias dos quais o rei tinha dito que os trouxessem, o chefe dos eunucos os trouxe diante de Nabucodonosor.
