elf clean in your blood and to bathe himself in your
gore, and ye shall certainly be destroyed by him from the boat of his
father Ra. The Osiris Nu is the god Horus to whom his mother the goddess
Isis hath given birth, and whom the goddess Nephthys hath nursed and
dandled, even like Horus when [he] repulsed the fiends of the god Suti;
and when they see the _ureret_ crown stablished upon his head they fall
down upon their faces and they glorify [him]. Behold, when men, and gods,
and _Khu_s, and the dead see the Osiris Nu in the form of Horus with the
_ureret_ crown stablished upon his head, they fall down upon their faces.
And the Osiris Nu, the overseer of the palace, the chancellor-in-chief,
triumphant, is victorious over his enemies in the heights of heaven, and
in the depths thereof, and before the divine sovereign chiefs of every god
and of every goddess."
[THIS CHAPTER] SHALL BE RECITED OVER A HAWK STANDING AND HAVING THE WHITE
CROWN UPON HIS HEAD, [AND OVER FIGURES OF] TEM, SHU, TEFNUT, SEB, NUT,
OSIRIS, ISIS, SUTI, AND NEPHTHYS PAINTED IN YELLOW COLOR UPON A NEW
PLAQUE, WHICH SHALL BE PLACED IN [A MODEL OF] THE BOAT [OF THE SUN], ALONG
WITH A FIGURE OF THE DECEASED WHOM THOU WOULDST MAKE PERFECT. THESE SHALT
THOU ANOINT WITH CEDAR OIL, AND INCENSE SHALL BE OFFERED UP TO THEM ON THE
FIRE, AND FEATHERED FOWL SHALL BE ROASTED. IT IS AN ACT OF PRAISE TO RA AS
HE JOURNEYETH, AND IT SHALL CAUSE A MAN TO HAVE HIS BEING ALONG WITH RA
DAY BY DAY, WHITHERSOEVER THE GOD VOYAGETH; AND IT SHALL DESTROY THE
ENEMIES OF RA IN VERY TRUTH REGULARLY AND CONTINUALLY.
For The New Moon
[From Lepsius "Todtenbuch," Bl. 55.]
ANOTHER CHAPTER TO BE RECITED WHEN THE MOON RENEWETH ITSELF ON THE DAY OF
THE MONTH. The Osiris Auf-ankh, triumphant, saith:
"Osiris unfettereth," or, as others say, "openeth the storm cloud [in] the
body of heaven, and is unfettered himself; Horus is made strong happily
each day. He whose transformations are great (or many) hath offerings made
unto him at the moment, and he hath made an end of the storm which is in
the face of the Osiris Auf-ankh, triumphant. Verily he cometh, and he is
Ra in [his] journeying, and he is the four celestial gods in the heavens
above. The Osiris Auf-ankh, triumphant, cometh forth in his day, and he
embarketh among the tackle of the boat."
IF THIS CHAPTER BE KNOWN BY THE DECEASED HE SHALL BECOME A PERFECT _KHU_
IN THE UNDERWORLD, AND HE SHALL NOT DIE THEREIN A SECOND
