and Nebhat stood behind her, and Hakt helped her. And Isis said, "O child,
by thy name of User-ref, do not do violence." And the child came upon her
hands, as a child of a cubit; its bones were strong, the beauty of its
limbs was like gold, and its hair was like true lapis-lazuli. They washed
him, and prepared him, and placed him on a carpet on the brickwork. Then
Meskhent approached him and said, "This is a king who shall reign over all
the land." And Khnumu gave strength to his limbs. Then Isis stood before
