It's unclear why you change the word to Kingdom as if you want to change the meaning - the poem say kingdom. Should Father's house also be changed to Father's House? When I was a little child. And dwelling in my kingdom, in my Father's house It wasn't written in English, and used words which rhymed in it's original language, AND is 1800-1900 years old. And I thought the question was about kingdoms of Glory. Clearly the child did not have a kingdom of Glory yet, that happens at the end of the poem. AND you tend towards literalism. As an heir to the throne the father's Kingdom becomes the sons Kingdom. Have you ever heard a child say " Let's go over to MY house?" Does the kid have a deed? And I didn't make those capitals right in the sentence above. The phone did. Since I wrote that by dictating into my phone, it likes to put random capitals into the way it "hears" and frankly I sometimes leave these little typos alone. I don't worry about typos in other people's comments so why should I worry about them in mind? I think maybe there's a little bit of presentism in your comment as well. There are no facts only interpretations. 😉 Edited July 25, 2020 by mfbukowski

BTW, we have two poems going on in this thread now. Edited July 25, 2020 by Bernard Gui 1
