Marrow
The rich and delicious blessings of the gospel are figuratively set forth as marrow; hence David speaks of them as such to his soul. (Psa 63:5) And the prophet Isaiah represents the salvation of the Lord Jesus Christ as “a feast of fat things, and full of marrow.” (Isa 25:6)

Marrow
maro (, moah, , helebh, , shikkuy, , mahah, to make fat, to grease; , muelos): Marrow is the nourisher and strengthener of the bones; it is said to moisten the bones: The marrow (moah) of his bones is moistened (Job 21:24). The fear of Yahweh will be health to thy navel, and marrow (shikkuy, margin refreshing, Hebrew moistening) to thy bones (Pro 3:8). Thus, the expression is used figuratively of the things which alone can satisfy the soul: My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow (helebh, fat) and fatness (Psa 63:5); In this mountain will Yahweh of hosts make unto all peoples a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow (, memuhayim, particle, plural, Pual of mahah), of wines on the lees well refined (Isa 25:6). In the Epistle to the Hebrews the writer speaks of the word of God, which is living, and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow (Heb 4:12).
