12. 12 "Test your servants for ten days; let us be given vegetables to eat and water to drink.

    12 Prove thy servants, I beseech thee, ten days; and let them give us pulse to eat, and water to drink.

13. 13 Then let our appearance and the appearance of the youths who eat the kings rich food be observed by you, and according to what you see deal with your servants."

    13 Then let our countenances be looked upon before thee, and the countenance of the youths that eat of the kings dainties; and as thou seest, deal with thy servants.
