8 And Daniel had come to the decision that he would not make himself unclean with the king's food or wine; so he made a request to the captain of the unsexed servants that he might not make himself unclean.

16 So the keeper regularly took away their meat and the wine which was to have been their drink, and gave them grain.

8 Daniel tomou a resolução de não se contaminar com os alimentos do rei e com seu vinho. Pediu ao chefe dos eunucos para deles se abster.

16 Em conseqüência disso o dispenseiro retirava os alimentos e o vinho que lhes eram destinados, e mandava servir-lhes legumes.
