saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for

had been redeemed from the earth.

1 When [Jesus] saw the crowds, he climbed a mountain and sat
down, and his disciples came to him. 2 Then he started teaching them, saying, 3
‘The
spiritually poor are blest, because the Kingdom of the Heavens belongs to
them. 4 The sad are blest
because they will be comforted. 5 The meek are blest because they will inherit the earth. 6
Those who hunger and thirst
for righteousness
are blest because they will be satisfied.

mēk´nes (ענוה, ‛ănāwāh; πραότης, praótēs, πραΰ́της, praútēs): “Meekness” in the Old Testament (‛ănāwāh, ‛anwāh) is from ‛ānāw,
“suffering,” “oppressed,” “afflicted,” denoting the spirit produced under such
experiences. The word is sometimes translated “poor” (Job 24:4 (Job_24:4, the
Revised Version margin “meek”; Amos
8:4); (Amo_8:4); “humble” " (Psalms 9:12,18, (Psa_9:12,
Psa_9:18, the Revised Version margin
“meek”); “lowly” Proverbs 3:34; 16:19, (Pro_3:34;
Pro_16:19, the Revised Version (British
and American) “poor,” margin “meek”). It is generally associated with some form
of oppression. The “meek” were the special objects of the Divine regard, and to
them special blessings are promised Psalms
22:26 (Psa_22:26, “The meek shall eat and be satisfied”; Psa_25:9, “The meek will he guide in justice; and the meek will he teach his way”; Psa_37:11, “The
meek shall inherit the land”; Psa_147:6,
“Yahweh upholdeth the meek”; Psa_149:4, “He will beautify the meek with
salvation,” the Revised Version margin “victory”; compare Isa_11:4; Isa_29:19;
Isa_61:1, “Yahweh hath anointed me to
preach good tidings unto the meek,” the Revised Version margin “poor”; Zep_2:3; Psa_45:4,
“because of (the Revised Version margin “in behalf of”) truth and meekness and
righteousness”). Of Moses it is said he “was very meek, above all the men that
were upon the face of the earth,” notwithstanding the Divine revelations given
him, and in the face of opposition Numbers
12:3 (Num_12:3; compare 2 Corinthians 12:1-6 2Co_12:1-6). Meekness is ascribed even to Yahweh
Himself (2 Samuel 22:36, (2Sa_22:36, “Thy
gentleness (‛ănāwāh) hath made me great”; compare P18:36salms Psa_18:36
(‛ănwāh), the Revised Version margin “condescension”); men are
exhorted to seek it (Zep_2:3, “Seek
righteousness, seek meekness”; compare Proverbs 15:1; 16:14; 25:15; Ecclesiastes 10:4). Pro_15:1; Pro_16:14; Pro_25:15;
Ecc_10:4).
In the Apocrypha also “meekness” holds a high
place (Ecclesiasticus
“Meekness” in the New Testament (praotēs,
prautēs)
is not merely a natural virtue, but a Christian “grace”; it is one of the
“fruits of the Spirit” Galatians
5:23). (Gal_5:23). The
conception of meekness, as it had been defined by Aristotle, was raised by
Christianity to a much higher level, and associated with the commonly despised
quality of humility (see under the word). It was the spirit of the Saviour Himself Matthew
11:29): (Mat_11:29): “I am meek (práos) and
lowly in heart” (compare 2Co_10:1, “by
the meekness and gentleness of Christ”); it presupposes humility, flows from
it, and finds expression in moderation (see under the word). (See Trench, Syn. of New Testament, 145; Westcott and Hort, The New Testament in Greek, New Testament
Lexicon, under the word) Christians are exhorted to cherish it and show it
in their relations to one another Ephesians 4:2; Colossians 3:12; 1 Timothy 6:11; Titus 3:2,
(Eph_4:2; Col_3:12;
1Ti_6:11; Tit_3:2,
“showing all meekness toward all men”); it ought to characterize Christian teachers
or those in authority in “instructing (the Revised Version (British and
American) “correcting,” margin “instructing”) them that oppose themselves” (2 Timothy 2:25); (2Ti_2:25); the
saving, “implanted” (the Revised Version margin “inborn”) word is to be
received “with meekness”
James 1:21);
(Jam_1:21); a man is to “show by his
good life his works in meekness of wisdom” (James
3:13), (Jam_3:13), and to give a reason for the hope that is in him,
“with meekness and fear” (1 Peter 3:15). (1Pe_3:15).
The interchangeableness of
“meek” with “poor,” etc., in the Old Testament ought to be specially noted. our Lord's opening of His ministry at

C/H Matthew 11:5,
Meekness—
A calm temper of mind, not easily provoked (Jam_3:13). Peculiar promises are made to the meek (Mat_5:5; Isa_66:2).
The cultivation of this spirit is enjoined (Col_3:12;
1Ti_6:11; Zep_2:3),
and is exemplified in Christ (Mat_11:29),
Abraham (Gen. 13; Gen_16:5, Gen_16:6) Moses (Num_12:3),
David (Zec_12:8; 2Sa_16:10, 2Sa_16:12),
and Paul (1Co_9:19).
God’s Promise of an Inheritance
At Matthew 5:5 we read, ‘The
meek are blest, because they will inherit the earth.’
