The priests then challenge the king to set the offerings as usual which were "twelve great measures of fine flour, and forty sheep, and six vessels of wine" and then seal the entrance to the temple with his ring: Daniel then uncovers the ruse by scattering ashes over the floor of the temple in the presence of the king after the priests have left and shows that the "sacred" meal of Bel is actually consumed at night by the priests and their wives and children, who enter through a secret door when the temple's doors are sealed.
