Chapter LXXXIII

Ancient Egyptian trans. P. Le Page Renouf & E. Naville • c. c. 1550 BCE

Let me wheel round in whirls, let me turn like the Turning One, let me flourish like a flower and keep myself hidden like the Hider

I am the Barley corn of every god

I am the four Yesterdays of those seven Uræus Uræus deities who are born in Amenta; Horus who giveth light by means of his own body; the god who is against Sutu when Thoth is between them, as in that dispute of the Prince of Sechem with the Spirits of Annu where the river is between them

I come forth by day and disclose myself at the head of the gods

I am the god who chaseth all boastfulness
