15. And at the end of ten days their countenances appeared fairer and fatter in flesh than all the yeladim which did eat the portion of the king's meat.
16. Thus the steward took away the portion of their meat, and the yayin that they should drink; and gave them vegetables.
17. As for these four yeladim, G-d gave them knowledge and skill in all sefer and chochmah, and Daniel had understanding in all chazon (visions) and chalomot (dreams).
18. Now at the end of the days that the king had said he would bring them in, then the chief of the eunuchs brought them in before Nevuchadnetzar.
19. And the king communed with them; and among them all was found none like Daniel, Chananyah, Mishael, and Azaryah; therefore stood they before the king.
20. And in all matters of chochmah and binah that the king questioned them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and astrologers that were in all his realm.
21. And Daniel continued even unto the first year of King Koresh (Cyrus).
