摩西在何烈山牧羊時見到荊棘被火燒著卻沒有燒燬，在察看異象時，耶和華現身要摩西解救以色列人。摩西遲疑迷惑，要求耶和華給他方向，耶和華賦予他神蹟的能力，讓摩西通過法老王的屏障帶領以色列人離開埃及，並在西乃山降下十誡，摩西因耶和華說話而臉面發光。「王國」可視為這謎詩的提示，「我們在天上的父，願人都尊你的名為聖。願你的國(kingdom)降臨(馬太福音 6:10)。」

And it sh'd lift its purple dikes And flood me with Dawn! | 如同我要求一個平凡恩惠 在我遲疑的手 陌生人強給一個王國 而我，迷惑站立 如同我要求光明方向 它會給我一個新的開始？ 而它應升起它的尊貴渠道 以領悟充斥我！ |

王國(Kingdom)有領域的字義。站立(stand)可譯為抵抗。……
| As if I asked a common alms－ And in my wondering hand, A Stranger pressed a kingdom－ And I－bewildered stand－ As if I asked the Orient Had it for me a morn? And it sh'd lift it's purple dikes And flood me with Dawn! |
