What the Fathers say
Eastern Fathers
Cyril of Alexandria
Those who were of Israel by blood are written as a type when God sent down manna from heaven. For this figure can be thought of as the bread of angels and as heavenly bread. For there are those in whose minds the divine light shines brightly and who work hard and irreproachably to know the holy Scriptures—we say that these people are filled and brimming with the heavenly nourishment of God.… Now whoever receives knowledge and is filled by his divine mysteries, that person's bones have flesh put on them. …
Western Saints
Jerome
And the Lord will always give you rest, and will fill your soul with splendor, and will free your bones. And you will be like a well-watered garden, and like a fountain of water, whose waters will not fail. LXX: And your God will be with you always: and you will be filled as your soul desires, and your bones will become fat. And they will be like a drunken garden, and like a fountain, whose water will not fail. …
Thomas Aquinas
And the Lord will give you rest, as to temporal evils: God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness (2 Cor 4:6); multiplication of interior, spiritual goods: he will fill your soul with brightness, namely, virtues or consolations, and deliver your bones, as to bodily goods: a cheerful and good heart (Sir 30:27); and multiplication of exterior goods: and you shall be like a watered garden, because of your prosperity, or an unfailing supply of all goods: how beautiful are your tabernacles, O Jacob (Num 24:5).
