Commentary on Daniel 10:3

Theological / Devotional

Pleasant bread. That is, delicacies. During Daniel’s period of fasting, he took but the simplest of food, sufficient only to maintain his strength.

Anoint myself. The use of oils for soothing the skin was in great popularity among ancient peoples, especially among those who lived in countries where the climate was very hot and dry. During his period of fasting and prayer the prophet saw fit to forgo this personal luxury.
