Pulse
(, zeroim, and , zeronim; Sept. ; Theod. ; Vulg. legumince) occurs only in the A.V. in Dan 1:12; Dan 1:16, as the translation of the above plural nouns, the literal meaning of which is seeds of anly kind. The food on which the four children thrived for ten days is perhaps not to be restricted to what we now understand by pulse, i.e. the grains of leguminous vegetables: the term probably includes edible seeds in general. Gesenius translates the words vegetables, herbs, such as are eaten in a half-fast, as opposed to flesh and more delicate food. Probably the term denotes uncooked grains of any kind, whether barley, wheat, millet, vetches, etc.
Our translators have also inserted in italics the word pulse as one of the parched sorts of provision which Barzillai brought to king David (2Sa 17:28). In this they are probably right. Leguminous seeds roasted are still used in the East; and in his commentary on Mat 21:12 Jerome mentions roasted chick-pease, along with raisins and apples, as the small-wares in which the huckster fruiterers used to deal: Frixum cicer, uveque passae, et poma diversi generis. Allusions in Plautus and Horace show that parched pease were a familiar article of diet among the poorer Romans.

Pulse
PULSE (zrm, Dan 1:12; zrnm, Dan 1:16 RVm [Note: Revised Version margin.] herbs, cf. Isa 61:11 EV [Note: English Version.] things that are sown) may have been any garden produce. The Eng. word pulse belongs to leguminous grains specially, but it is doubtful whether the meaning of the Heb. can be so restricted. In 2Sa 17:28 pulse is supplied after parched, but grain would be better. See also Food, 3.

Pulse
puls (, zerom (Dan 1:12 margin, herbs), , zereonm (Dan 1:16); compare , zerua, sowing seed (Lev 11:37), and , zerum, things sown (Isa 61:11)): (1) In Dan 1:12, Dan 1:16, it must mean herbs or vegetables grown from seeds; a vegetable diet is what is implied. (2) In 2Sa 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.
