Children . The word yeladim rendered children , is frequently used for lads , or young men (see Genesis 21 . 8 , Genesis 21 . 14-16) , םובםיףךןץע , as the LXX render; and Daniel must have been at this time at least seventeen or eighteen years of age.

and skillful .

defile . Heathen nations not only ate unclean beasts , which were forbidden by Jewish law , but even the clean animals that were eaten were first offered as victims to their gods , and part of the wine was poured out as a libation on their altars. Hence Atheneus calls the beasts served up at the tables of the Persian kings , יוסיב , victims. Daniel was therefore resolved not to defile himself with their viands; yet he did not rudely refuse what was intended as a kindness , but mildly and modestly requested the proper officers to indulge him in this respect.
