preciousness, treasured things; delicacies, desirable food
2. delicacies, desirable food — Choice or desirable food, delicacies. Used specifically of Daniel's abstention from rich food during his three-week mourning period: 'I ate no delicacies' (lechem chamudot, literally 'bread of desirablenesses,' Dan 10:3). This specialized culinary sense refers to luxurious or pleasurable foods that one might forgo during fasting or mourning, distinct from the more general sense of 'precious things' or 'treasures.' 1×

1. preciousness, treasured things — Desirableness, preciousness, or costly treasures. Used both of persons and things: of Daniel as a 'man of treasures' (ish chamudot), i.e., one greatly treasured or beloved by God (Dan 9:23, 10:11, 10:19), of precious goods and costly items plundered or hoarded (2 Chr 20:25, 'precious things'; Dan 11:38, 'with treasures'; Dan 11:43, 'treasures of gold and silver'). The plural form chamudot functions as an abstract noun of quality indicating high value and desirability. 6×
