Here 'the meek' and 'the humble' describes a particular category of people which means that the person who is either 'meek' or 'humble' can inherit the earth.
Now secondly I would like to clear that "the meek and humble" is also correct which specifies that 'the person who is meek as well as humble can inherit the earth.

The words-- meek, humble -- are adjectives. When you use an adjective to mean the people, the definite article is used. e.g. Poor -- adjective. If we want to use the word "poor" to refer to "the poor people" we write: The poor must be helped. Moreover, the poor, the meek, the humble etc. Are plural nouns and they must have plural verb.
