What the Fathers say
Western Saints
Jerome
From the moment you became honorable and glorious in my eyes: I loved you, and I will give men for you, and peoples for your soul. LXX: Since you have been honorable and glorified in my sight: and I have loved you, I will give men for you, and princes for your life. Therefore, the chorus of the Apostles became honorable in the sight of God, and beloved by Him; and they are the salvation of all people and nations who are called to the Gospel through them, and they will be considered for the salvation of their souls.
Thomas Aquinas
And he assigns the reason, namely, the love of God itself: since you became honorable, that is, I made and reckoned you honorable; I will give men for you, for your liberation: surely Ephraim is an honorable son to me (Jer 31:20).
