Barton's original translation and commentary suggested a primitive sense of religion where "chief among these spirits were gods, who, however capricious, were the givers of vegetation and life."
Terjemahan asli dan komentari Barton mengusulkan suatu nilai primitif agama di mana "kepala di antara roh-roh ini adalah dewa-dewa, yang, meskipun berubah-ubah, adalah pemberi vegetasi dan kehidupan."
