He Revived His Heart, He Revived His Soul
He gave him means of sustenance. Figuratively: He strengthened and encouraged him. He restored to him the inner joy.
("For thus saith the high and exalted, who dwelleth even to time indefinite, and holy is his name, the high and holy is his dwelling place, and he giveth to the contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite" - Isaiah 65:11, and so: "Behold, thy servant hath found grace in thy sight, and magnified thy mercy, which thou hast shewed unto me, to save my soul, and I was not consumed. "To the mountain" in Genesis 19:19 (Lot to the angels), and so: "For the money is gone from under me, and with what shall I live my soul" - Sha'i Agnon/ In the blood of her days)
