Tell me why to use "the" before meek and humble

The line describes that the person who is humble and meek can inherit from the earth. It refers to character, so I think 'the' should come.

Paul said: (Thu, Jan 13, 2011 07:33:35 AM)    
 
Yeah. Any specific thing should be specified using "the".

Rajesh said: (Wed, Jan 19, 2011 02:24:05 AM)    
 
Since meek and humble refer to group of people ...the is used.

Sriram said: (Mon, Feb 21, 2011 12:44:57 AM)    
 
Meekness, humbleness are particular to the one concerned and hence, should be addressed with the article "the".

Alimsaha said: (Fri, Feb 25, 2011 01:54:57 AM)    
 
It is mentioned one particular part of anything.

Jit Saha said: (Mon, Mar 7, 2011 01:50:22 AM)    
 
Is meek and humble adjective?

Sweety said: (Wed, Mar 30, 2011 10:03:58 AM)    
 
No its noun.

Soumya said: (Wed, Jun 8, 2011 02:08:27 PM)    
 
Meek and humble refers to group of ppl. So its adjective. The should be used before meek and humble.

Vertika said: (Mon, Aug 1, 2011 01:09:58 PM)    
 
Logunath is right.

Ajeet Ghosh said: (Sun, Aug 7, 2011 08:23:38 PM)    
 
I agree with soumya.

Phani said: (Thu, Sep 8, 2011 09:43:13 PM)

Why to use "the" before meek and humble?

Chandana said: (Sat, Sep 24, 2011 12:32:53 PM)    
 
Meek=obsolute, kind.

Humble=not felling proud although successfull.

Ex. To make meek;humble one's heart. When used with objects.

Whilee using adjectives, the is used before the adjective.

I can't get it. Help ?

Ranjeet said: (Fri, Dec 30, 2011 11:38:05 AM)    
 
I still don't understand.

Sankar said: (Sun, Jan 1, 2012 05:15:16 PM)    
 
Please any one let me know why the coming before

1. Meek 2. Humble.

Abhinav said: (Tue, Jan 24, 2012 11:54:04 PM)    
 
I think here meek and humble refers to a specific group of people which are taken as unique in this sentence and the is used before any thing which is unique like 'the sun' that's why the is used here.

Sudha said: (Tue, Apr 3, 2012 08:14:06 AM)    
 
Why we should use "the" before meek and humble ?
