Matthew 5:5
Blessed [are] the meek. The mild, the gentle, opposed to the
proud and ambitious, the kind who succeed in such a kingdom as the Jews
expected.
Shall inherit the earth. The land; Canaan as the type of all
blessings. It is the heavenly land especially that is inherited. The
especial reference is to the Messiah's kingdom, of which "the land" of
Canaan was a type.
