The KJV version uses a certain word that can be translated to cereal and not vegetables. However the NIV, ESV, and even the NKJV use the word vegetables. So tell me what was it cereal or vegetables in Daniel 1?

Did Daniel eat vegetables or Cereal?
- Thread starter evangelist6589
- Start date
Daniel 1:12 Prove thy servants, I beseech thee, ten days; and let them give us pulse to eat, and water to drink.
The KJV uses the word "pulse".
Strongs:
zeroa` zay-ro'-ah
or zeraSon {zay-raw-ohn'}; from 2232; something sown (only in the plural), i.e. a vegetable (as food):--pulse.
Where are you getting cereal?

Well Sissy did ask, "Where are you getting cereal?". She stepped into that one. Unless she takes a sickle, and sneeks into someone's wheat field, and gets the wheat, and then processes it herself, where else can she get it? :laugh:
PULSE
puls (zero'-im (Dan 1:12 margin, "herbs"), zere'onim (Dan 1:16); compare zerua`, "sowing seed" (Lev 11:37), and zeru'im, "things sown" (Isa 61:11)): (1) In Dan 1:12,16, it must mean herbs or vegetables grown from seeds; a vegetable diet is what is implied. (2) In 2 Sam 17:28, "pulse" after "parched" is not in the original, but is probably more correct than the translation in (1), as "pulse" usually implies leguminous plants, peas, beans, etc.

From a commentary on the book of Daniel.
Daniel's Meal Plan for Sunday, March 18th, 539 BC
Breakfast - Coco Puffs and Captain Crunch
Lunch - Campbell's Lentil Soup and Wonder Bread (builds body's 12 ways)
Dinner - Vegetarian Chilli or Buddhist Delight
Snack - Power bar
Daniel had a wide range of food to eat and wasn't deprived.
Even today we would say a properly regulated vegetarian diet is healthy
