He was looking for young men who were healthy and handsome. They had to be able to learn anything. They had to be well educated.

There is a man in your kingdom who has within him the spirit of the holy gods. During Nebuchadnezzar’s reign, this man was found to have insight, understanding, and wisdom like that of the gods. Your predecessor, the king— your predecessor King Nebuchadnezzar— made him chief over all the magicians, enchanters, astrologers, and fortune tellers of Babylon.

Moses was taught all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and he was powerful in both speech and action.

Now Absalom was praised as the most handsome man in all Israel. He was flawless from head to foot.

Do you see any truly competent workers? They will serve kings rather than working for ordinary people.

“ Anyone who injures another person must be dealt with according to the injury inflicted—a fracture for a fracture, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Whatever anyone does to injure another person must be paid back in kind.

God gave these four young men an unusual aptitude for understanding every aspect of literature and wisdom. And God gave Daniel the special ability to interpret the meanings of visions and dreams.When the training period ordered by the king was completed, the chief of staff brought all the young men to King Nebuchadnezzar.The king talked with them, and no one impressed him as much as Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. So they entered the royal service.Whenever the king consulted them in any matter requiring wisdom and balanced judgment, he found them ten times more capable than any of the magicians and enchanters in his entire kingdom.

No one who has a defect qualifies, whether he is blind, lame, disfigured, deformed,or has a broken foot or arm,or is hunchbacked or dwarfed, or has a defective eye, or skin sores or scabs, or damaged testicles.No descendant of Aaron who has a defect may approach the altar to present special gifts to the Lord. Since he has a defect, he may not approach the altar to offer food to his God.

The king shouted for the enchanters, astrologers, and fortune tellers to be brought before him. He said to these wise men of Babylon,“ Whoever can read this writing and tell me what it means will be dressed in purple robes of royal honor and will have a gold chain placed around his neck. He will become the third highest ruler in the kingdom!”

“ At that time Moses was born— a beautiful child in God’s eyes. His parents cared for him at home for three months.

Then the astrologers answered the king in Aramaic,“ Long live the king! Tell us the dream, and we will tell you what it means.”But the king said to the astrologers,“ I am serious about this. If you don’t tell me what my dream was and what it means, you will be torn limb from limb, and your houses will be turned into heaps of rubble!

He called in his magicians, enchanters, sorcerers, and astrologers, and he demanded that they tell him what he had dreamed. As they stood before the king,

When all the magicians, enchanters, astrologers, and fortune tellers came in, I told them the dream, but they could not tell me what it meant.

Then Gideon asked Zebah and Zalmunna,“ The men you killed at Tabor— what were they like?”“ Like you,” they replied.“ They all had the look of a king’s son.”

But some of the astrologers went to the king and informed on the Jews.

One wise person is stronger than ten leading citizens of a town!

He did this to present her to himself as a glorious church without a spot or wrinkle or any other blemish. Instead, she will be holy and without fault.

The astrologers replied to the king,“ No one on earth can tell the king his dream! And no king, however great and powerful, has ever asked such a thing of any magician, enchanter, or astrologer!

He said,“ Praise the name of God forever and ever, for he has all wisdom and power.He controls the course of world events; he removes kings and sets up other kings. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the scholars.
