Here "heart" is a metonym for the people's emotions. The abstract noun "exultation" can be translated using the verb "exult," and "humility" can be translated using the adjective "humble." Alternate translation: "food, exulting and with humble hearts" or "food, humbly and with great joy" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-abstractnouns]])
