²Why do you spend money for what is not bread, and expend your labor for what does not satisfy? Listen very closely to me, and eat what is good, and then your soul will be delighted by a full measure.

¹²“I beg you to test us, your servants, for ten days, and let roots be given to us to eat and water to drink, ¹³and then observe our faces, and the faces of the children who eat the king’s food, and then deal with your servants according to what you see.” ¹⁴When he had heard these words, he tested them for ten days. ¹⁵But, after ten days, their faces appeared better and fatter than all the children who had eaten from the king’s food. ¹⁶Thereafter, Malasar took away their portions and their wine for drinking, and he gave them roots. ¹⁷Yet, to these children, God gave knowledge and instruction in every book, and wisdom, but to Daniel, also the understanding of all visions and dreams.

¹But accept those who are weak in faith, without disputing about ideas. ²For one person believes that he may eat all things, but if another is weak, let him eat plants. ³He who eats should not despise him who does not eat. And he who does not eat should not judge him who eats. For God has accepted him. ⁴Who are you to judge the servant of another? He stands or falls by his own Lord. But he shall stand. For God is able to make him stand. ⁵For one person discerns one age from the next. But another discerns unto every age. Let each one increase according to his own mind. ⁶He who understands the age, understands for the Lord. And he who eats, eats for the Lord; for he gives thanks to God. And he who does not eat, does not eat for the Lord, and he gives thanks to God.

³And everything that moves and lives will be food for you. Just as with the edible plants, I have delivered them all to you,

¹When you sit down to eat with a leader, pay close attention to what has been set before your face, ²and put a knife to your throat, if, in such a way, you could hold your soul in your own power. ³Do not desire his foods, in which is the bread of deceit.

¹⁴And this is the confidence which we have toward God: that no matter what we shall request, in accord with his will, he hears us. ¹⁵And we know that he hears us, no matter what we request; so we know that we can obtain the things that we request of him.

¹And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying: ²Say to the sons of Israel: These are the animals that you ought to eat out of all the living things of the earth. ³All that has a divided hoof, and that chews over again, among the cattle, you shall eat. ⁴But whatever certainly chews over again, but has a hoof that is not divided, such as the camel and others, these you shall not eat, and you shall consider them to be among what is unclean. ⁵The rock rabbit which chews over again, and whose hoof is not divided, is unclean, ⁶and so also is the hare, for it too chews over again, yet its hoof is not divided,

⁴And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but educate them with the discipline and correction of the Lord.
