Mathew 5:5 - μακάριοι οἱ πραεῖς, ὅτι αὐτοὶ κληρονομήσουσιν τὴν γῆν
πραεῖς does not mean meek. The dictionary, as one of its definitions, has meek as “overly submissive or compliant; spiritless; tame” and most people have this opinion when they read this passage, but that is not the meaning of the Greek word πραεῖς (praeîs). The Greeks would use πραεῖς to refer to someone or something whose strength is under control, like a soldier who does not attack unless ordered. Trust the plan - the Greeks always knew.
