Die onstuimige see is die gevare waardeur hulle is Die onweer is die moorde op hulle gepleeg Die wolk se silwer rand is die oorwinning oor die rampe Die wawiel dui aan ontberings met 'n bloeddeurdrenkte ysterband in rooi, maar die wiel staan op die anker van hoop en 'n oop Bybel Weerskante is die vlae van Retief en Potgieter met kruithorings wat oorwin oor die skildvelle. Ook die Geloftekerkie word uitgebeeld Symbolic conclusion. Dragons on the side, dark storm clouds, raging seas and high mountains were some of the dangers the Trekkers had to face. Everything is balanced on the open book of the Bible, and the lowly wagon wheel keeps it together. On the right is a guardian angel. The buildings in the background are the Houses of Parliament in Cape Town.

Met dagbreek val die Zoeloes aan. Blood river. Nothing would be enough to convey the sense of danger that must have hung over the laager on the day when thousands of heavily armed Zulu warriors attacked.

Toepaslik is hierdie toneel uitgewerk deur die eggenote van ds. A Oosthuizen, voormalige moderator van die Nederduitsch Hervormde Kerk. Gathered around the Bible. Nobody was allowed to stay away from the ritual of the family listening to the patriarch reading from the Bible. This was the time when Psalm 119 was read in full on a single evening. Afterwards children would be asked to repeat what they have heard.
