Exegesis
The concluding ʾă-šer lō yit-ga-ʿal {אֲשֶׁ֖ר לֹ֥א יִתְגָּאָֽל | ʾă-šer lō yit-ga-ʿal} echoes the initial resolve, creating syntactic parallelism and emphasis. The translation renders Hebrew purpose and reflexive constructions into English infinitives and passive structures while maintaining narrative flow.
In context — Daniel 1:8
And Daniel set his mind not to defile himself with the king’s portion or the wine served to him, and he requested the chief of the eunuchs to grant him permission to avoid defilement.
