And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearingseed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, inthe which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall befor meat. And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl ofthe air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, whereinthere is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it wasso.—Genesis i., 29, 30.
Thou shalt not kill.—Exodus xx., 13.

So he consented to themin this matter, and proved them ten days. And at the end often days their countenances appeared fairer and fatter in fleshthan all the children which did eat the portion of the king'smeat.—Daniel i., 11 to 17.
