Interpretation: Daniel and his friends ate pulse so as not to defile themselves with the king's food. The tradition reads this as keeping the dietary laws in exile. In the primary lessons: In maths: a rate: beats per minute; problems ask how many beats in a number of minutes or seconds; count for 15 seconds and multiply by 4. In science and PE: pulse goes up with exercise and down with rest; a healthy child's resting pulse is often about 70 to 110. In food: pulses are rich in protein. In stories: «her pulse raced». ### examples - So the steward took away their food, and the wine that they should drink, and gave them pulse.

Trap: if the pulse is counted for 15 or 30 seconds, change it to a full minute first (× 4 or × 2). Feel a pulse with fingers, not the thumb, because the thumb has its own pulse. «Pulses» (food) is a different meaning. ### In the corpora - [So the steward took away their food, and the wine that they should drink, and gave them pulse.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/DAN.15/) - [Almost everyone can learn to dance with practice and by listening for the beat, the steady pulse of the music.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/school/arts/29-dance-from-tiktok-dances-to-ballet/13/) - [Each heartbeat squeezes blood out and sends a wave along the arteries, which you feel as your pulse.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/school/biology/261-human-body-deeper-heart-and-blood/5/) - [Nurses check temperature, pulse and breathing regularly, even at night, and being woken for checks doesn't mean something is wrong.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/school/medicine/28-the-hospital-ward-operations-and-anaesthetic/5/) - [Galileo noticed this watching a swinging lamp in a cathedral, timing it with his pulse.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/school/physics/10-swings-and-pendulums/7/) ### Trees and pragmatics [Every meaning and example of «pulse» parsed by Mova](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/P/pulse/), each sentence with its dependency tree and frames.
