puls ( זרעים , zērō‛ı̄m ( Daniel 1:12 margin, "herbs"), זרענים , zēre‛ōnı̄m (Daniel 1:16 ); compare זרוּע , zērūa‛ , "sowing seed" (Leviticus 11:37 ), and זרוּעים , zērū‛ı̄m , "things sown" (Isaiah 61:11 )): (1) In Daniel 1:12 , Daniel 1:16 , it must mean herbs or vegetables grown from seeds; a vegetable diet is what is implied. (2) In 2 Samuel 17:28 , "pulse" after "parched" is not in the original, but is probably more correct than the translation in (1), as "pulse" usually implies leguminous plants, peas, beans, etc.
