great god who dwellest in the empyrean. Hail! god
of the disk with the brilliant rays, praise be to the spirit
Keschi! four times.
78 Hail to thee, universal covering, who createst thy soul and who
makest thy body grow; the King traverses the most secret sphere,
he explores the mysteries contained in it. The King speaks to thee
like Ra, he praises thee with his intelligence, the King is like
the god; and reciprocally. He moves by himself, he moves by
himself. The all surrounding universe says: Ah, guide him unto the
interior of my sphere; four times.
79 This chapter is said to the most mysterious god, these words
are written like those upon the two sides of the door of the
empyrean ...(625) this book is read every day, when he has retired
in life, according to custom, perfectly.
CHAPTER II
1 Worship of the Spheric Gods, when Ra sets in life. Hail, gods of
the spheres, gods who are in the Ament, perfect gods ...(626) the
enemies of Ra, you make the universal covering(627) grow ...(628)
you worship the god who is in his disk ...(629) thou commandest
thy enemies, great god who art upon the horizon; four times. Thou
commandest thy enemies, Osiris Temt; four times.
2 The royal Osiris commands his enemies in heaven and upon earth,
by authority of all the gods and all the goddesses, by authority
of Osiris Chentament, because the royal Osiris is Ra himself, the
great inhabitant of the heavens, he speaks in the presence of
Ament. The King governs by favor of the great powers. The royal
Osiris is pure, what is in him is pure, the royal Osiris governs
the two worlds, the royal Osiris commands his enemies; four times.
3 He is powerful, Ra in the empyrean, he is powerful, Ra in the
empyrean. He traverses the empyrean with joy, for he has struck
Apap;(630) there is joy for thee, god of the horizon, Osiris, King
of the Ament, there is joy for thy triumphant spirit, for thou
destroyest his enemies; thou art delighted, Tesherti, red spirit
who openest the Ament. Thou givest thy hand to Osiris, thou art
received in the good Ament, and the gods rejoice over thee. Osiris
gives thee his hand, thou art received by Chentament. He is
brilliant, the spirit of Ra in the empyrean, he is brilliant, the
body of Teb Temt. Ra commands in the empyrean, because he has
struck Apap. Teb Temt
