pulse

[7djengo7]

Daniel 1:11-16 Then said Daniel to Melzar, whom the prince of the eunuchs had set over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, Prove thy servants, I beseech thee, ten days; and let them give us pulse to eat, and water to drink. Then let our countenances be looked upon before thee, and the countenance of the children that eat of the portion of the king's meat: and as thou seest, deal with thy servants. So he consented to them in this matter, and proved them ten days. And at the end of ten days their countenances appeared fairer and fatter in flesh than all the children which did eat the portion of the king's meat. Thus Melzar took away the portion of their meat, and the wine that they should drink; and gave them pulse.

I like that! The guy whom Nebuchadnezzar had appointed to administration over what Daniel and his fellows would be eating: Melzar the Meal Czar. (I wonder if any Ruckmanite has made something out of that.)

"The prince of the eunuchs" caught my eye

Was that a title bestowed upon a worthy eunuch? Did you have to be a eunuch first? Or did they take one of the princes and make him a eunuch?
Ouch

Ouch

Are you saying that he was a unique eunuch?
