וַיְהִי בָהֶם מִבְּנֵי יְהוּדָה דָּנִיֵּאל חֲנַנְיָה מִֽישָׁאֵל וַעֲזַרְיָֽה
Now among these were, of the children of Judah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah.
וַיָּשֶׂם לָהֶם שַׂר הַסָּרִיסִים שֵׁמוֹת וַיָּשֶׂם לְדָֽנִיֵּאל בֵּלְטְשַׁאצַּר וְלַֽחֲנַנְיָה שַׁדְרַךְ וּלְמִֽישָׁאֵל מֵישַׁךְ וְלַעֲזַרְיָה עֲבֵד נְגֽוֹ
And the chief of the officers gave names unto them: unto Daniel he gave the name of Belteshazzar; and to Hananiah, of Shadrach; and to Mishael, of Meshach; and to Azariah, of Abed-nego.
וַיָּשֶׂם דָּנִיֵּאל עַל־לִבּוֹ אֲשֶׁר לֹֽא־יִתְגָּאַל בְּפַתְבַּג הַמֶּלֶךְ וּבְיֵין מִשְׁתָּיו וַיְבַקֵּשׁ מִשַּׂר הַסָּרִיסִים אֲשֶׁר לֹא יִתְגָּאָֽל
But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the king’s food, nor with the wine which he drank; therefore he requested of the chief of the officers that he might not defile himself.
וַיִּתֵּן הָֽאֱלֹהִים אֶת־דָּנִיֵּאל לְחֶסֶד וּֽלְרַחֲמִים לִפְנֵי שַׂר הַסָּרִיסִֽים
And God granted Daniel mercy and compassion in the sight of the chief of the officers.
וַיֹּאמֶר שַׂר הַסָּרִיסִים לְדָנִיֵּאל יָרֵא אֲנִי אֶת־אֲדֹנִי הַמֶּלֶךְ אֲשֶׁר מִנָּה אֶת־מַאֲכַלְכֶם וְאֶת־מִשְׁתֵּיכֶם אֲשֶׁר לָמָּה יִרְאֶה אֶת־פְּנֵיכֶם זֹֽעֲפִים מִן־הַיְלָדִים אֲשֶׁר כְּגִֽילְכֶם וְחִיַּבְתֶּם אֶת־רֹאשִׁי לַמֶּֽלֶךְ
And the chief of the officers said unto Daniel: ‘I fear my lord the king, who hath appointed your food and your drink; for why should he see your faces sad in comparison with the youths that are of your own age? so would ye endanger my head with the king.’
