5 “Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.

Darby

5 Blessed the meek, for *they* shall inherit the earth^D6667.

Darby Bible Notes

earth - Or 'land.' This is a quotation from Ps. 37.11. For a Jew, inheriting the land was inheriting the earth, and vice versa. It was not the haughty Pharisee or the violent who were to have it. God would give it to the meek of the earth that waited on Him. I have put 'earth' as giving a larger thought, as characteristic, not local only. Here ge in Greek, agrees with erets, in Hebrew. See Notes, 1 Sam. 2.8; Ps. 2.8.

KJV

5 “Blessed” [are] “the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.”
