While it may emphasize the importance of the land, those who read the translation, the white people, would largely see it as over emphasis and possibly blasphemous due to the way it is used in and associated with the lord's prayer.

This connotation arises from the Lord's prayer saying, "Our father who art in heaven, hallowed by thy name". This shows a bad choice of diction by the translator due to the fact that the connotations the reader perceived were not taken into account with the translating, thus reducing the translation's accuracy.
