* 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
Athen(9175)s calls the beasts served up at the tables of the
Persian kings, [hieria,] 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.
