TIES; AND A HEAVEN WITH ITS STARS SHALL [ALSO]
BE MADE, AND THIS THOU SHALT HAVE MADE CEREMONIALLY PURE BY MEANS OF
NATRON AND INCENSE. AND, BEHOLD, THOU SHALT MAKE AN IMAGE OF RA IN
YELLOW(?) COLOR UPON A NEW PLAQUE AND SET IT AT THE BOWS OF THE BOAT. AND
BEHOLD, THOU SHALT PLACE AN IMAGE OF THE _KHU_ WHICH THOU DOST WISH TO
MAKE PERFECT [AND PLACE IT] IN THIS BOAT, AND THOU SHALT MAKE IT TO TRAVEL
ABOUT IN THE BOAT [WHICH SHALL BE MADE IN THE FORM OF THE BOAT] OF RA; AND
HE SHALL SEE THE GOD RA HIMSELF THEREIN. LET NOT THE EYE OF ANY MAN
WHATSOEVER LOOK UPON IT WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THINE OWN SELF, OR THY
FATHER,(121) OR THY SON, AND GUARD [THIS] WITH GREAT CARE.(122) [NOW THESE
THINGS] SHALL MAKE THE _KHU_ PERFECT IN THE HEART OF RA, AND IT SHALL GIVE
UNTO HIM POWER WITH THE COMPANY OF THE GODS; AND THE GODS SHALL LOOK UPON
HIM AS A DIVINE BEING LIKE UNTO THEMSELVES; AND MANKIND AND THE DEAD SHALL
LOOK UPON HIM AND SHALL FALL DOWN UPON THEIR FACES, AND HE SHALL BE SEEN
IN THE UNDERWORLD IN THE FORM OF THE RADIANCE OF RA.

the overseer of the palace, the chancellor-in-chief, triumphant, and
destroy ye them from the boat of Ra; and the god Horus shall cut off their
heads in heaven [where they are] in the form of feathered fowl, and their
hind parts shall be on the earth in the form of animals and in the Lake in
the form of fishes. Every male fiend and every female fiend shall the
Osiris Nu, the overseer of the palace, the chancellor-in-chief, destroy,
whether he descendeth from the heaven, or whether he cometh forth from the
earth, or whether they come upon the waters, or whether they advance
toward the stars, the god Thoth, the son of Aner, coming forth from the
