Easton's Bible Dictionary

Pulse:

(Dan 1:12,16), R.V. "herbs," vegetable food in general.

International Standard Bible Encyclopaedia

Pulse:

puls (zero'-im (Da 1:12 margin, "herbs"), zere'onim (Da 1:16); compare zerua‘, "sowing seed" (Le 11:37), and zeru'im, "things sown" (Isa 61:11)):

(1) In Da 1:12,16, 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.



King James Dictionary

Pulse: Bean or Seed Used for Food.

Then said Daniel to Melzar, whom the prince of the eunuchs had set over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, Prove thy servants, I beseech thee, ten days; and let them give us PULSE to eat, and water to drink. Then let our countenances be looked upon before thee, and the countenance of the children that eat of the portion of the king's meat: and as thou seest, deal with thy servants. (Daniel 1:11-13)

Smith's Bible Dictionary

Pulse:

(seeds) usually means peas, beans and the seeds that grow in pods. In the Authorized Version it occurs only in Lamentations 1:12, 16 as the translation of words the literal meaning of which is "seeds" of any kind. Probably the term denotes uncooked grain of any kind, as barley wheat, millet, vetches, etc.
