Exegesis
The verse opens with a negated verbal clause where lechem {לֶחֶם | leḥem} ‘bread’ and chamudot {חֲמֻדוֹת | ḥămudōṯ} ‘desirable’ precede the perfect verb akhalti {אָכַלְתִּי | ʾāḵalti} ‘I ate,’ emphasizing abstention.
In context — Daniel 10:3
I ate no desirable bread , nor did meat or wine enter my mouth, nor did I anoint myself at all , until the completion of three weeks.
