Key Reflection

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

The meek shall eat and be satisfied -The word “meek” -ענוים‛ănâviym- means here rather “afflicted, distressed, miserable.” This is its usual meaning. It is employed sometimes in the sense of mild or meek (compareNumbers 12:3); but it here manifestly denotes the afflicted; the poor; the distressed. When it is said that they would “eat and be satisfied,” the idea is that of prosperity or abundance; and the statement is, that, as the result of the Redeemer’s work, blessings in abundance would be imparted to the poor and the distressed - those who had been destitute, forsaken, and friendless.
