(7) 5 To say by Nut, the great, (who is) within the encircled mansion: This is (my) son N., of (my) heart. 5 I have given to him the D.t, that he may be chief therein, like Horus, chief of the D.t. 5 All the gods say (to Nut): 5 "Thy father Shu knows that thou lovest N. more than thy mother Tefnut."

(446) 825 To say: Osiris N., thy mother, Nut, has spread herself over thee, 825 that she may hide thee from all evil things. 825 Nut has guarded thee from all evil; 825 thou art the greatest among her children.

(245) 250 This N. comes to thee Nut; this N. comes to thee Nut. 250 He has thrown his father to the ground; he has left Horus behind him. 250 His two wings are grown as (those of) a falcon; (his) two feathers as (those of) a gmw-falcon. 250 His ba has brought him (here); his magic power has equipped him. 251 Thou openest thy place in heaven, among the stars of heaven; 251 thou art the only star, the companion of w; thou lookest down on Osiris, 251 as he commands the spirits. Thou standest there far from him. 251 Thou are not of them; thou shalt not be of them.

(443) Utterances 443. 823 To say: Nut, two eyes are come forth from thy head. 823 Thou hast taken possession of Horus and his Great-in-charms; 823 thou hast taken possession of Set and his Great-in-charms. 823 Nut, thou hast numbered thy children, in thy name of "rp.tsedan-chair of Heliopolis." 823 Thou shalt reclaim N. also for life; he shall not perish.

(429) 779 To say by Geb: Nut, thou art become (spiritually) mighty: 779 thou wast (already physically) mighty in the womb of thy mother, Tefnut, before thou wast born. 779 Protect N. with life and well-being. He shall not die.

(260) 316 To say: O Geb, bull of Nut, N. is a Horus, heir of his father. 316 N. is the goer, the comer, the fourth of these four gods, 316 who have brought water (and) made themselves clean, who rejoice over the "power" of their fathers. 316 He desires that he be justified by that which he has done. 317 Since Tfn and Tefnut have judged N.; since the Two Truths have heard (him); 317 since Shu has been advocate (tongue); since the Two Truths have given verdict; 317 he has encompassed the thrones of Geb, he has raised himself to that which he wished. 318 (So now that) his limbs are united, which were hidden (in the grave), 318 he unites himself with those who are in Nun. He puts an end to his words in Heliopolis, 318 as N. goes forth on that day in the true form of an . 319 N. destroys battle; he punishes revolt. 319 N. goes forth (as) the protector of truth; he brings her, for she is with him. 319 Those who were furious, (now) busy themselves for him; those who are in Nun, (now) give life over to him. 320 The refuge of N. is in his eye; the protection of N. is in his eye; 320 the power of N. is in his eye; the strength of N. is in his eye. 321 O gods of South, North, West, East, respect N., fear him; 321 he has sat in the t of the two courts. 321 That uraeus-serpent dnn-wt.t might have burned you, for she attained your heart, 322 you (they) who might have come to N. as an adversary; come to him (as a friend), come to him. 322 N. is the dd of his father, the nb of his mother. 323 The abomination of N. is to walk in darkness, 323 lest he see those who are upside down. 323 N. will come forth in this day; he will bring truth with him. 323 N. will not be delivered up to your flame, O gods.

(516) 1183 Further, to say: O Nwrw, ferryman of the marsh of P`t, 1183 N. is the herdsman of thy cattle, who is over thy Birthplace; 1184 N. is thy potter who is on earth, 1184 who will break the jar, the child of Nut. 1185 N. is come; he brought to thee this thy house here which he made for thee 1185 on the night of thy birth, on the day of thy M'n.t; 1185 it is a jar. 1186 Thou art Bes who knows not his father; thou knowest not thy mother. 1186 Let him not announce thee to those who do not know thee that they may know thee. 1187 Ferry him over rapidly 1187 to the land of sm, to this field where the gods were be gotten, 1187 over which the gods rejoice on these their New Year's days.

(650) 1833 [To say]: ------- it is Osiris N., son of [Nut]. 1833 She caused him to appear as king of Upper and Lower Egypt in all his dignity. 1833 [She caused him to appear as] Anubis, First of the Westerners, as Osiris son of Geb. 1833 --------- gods, as `nd.ti, chief of the eastern nomes. 1834 The earth [produces] N.; he shall be chief of the gods who are in heaven, 1834 as Geb, chief of the Ennead. 1835 His mother, heaven, bears him, living, each day, beloved of R`, 1835 with whom he dawns in the east, with whom he sets in the west. 1835 His mother Nut is not void of him, daily. 1836 He equips N. with life; 1836 he makes his heart rejoice; he makes his heart sweet. 1837 He settles for him the South; he settles for him the land of the North; 1837 he destroys for him the fortresses of Asia; 1837 he quells for him all the people, rebels, under his fingers.

(3) 2 To say by Nut, the great, who is within the lower mansion: This is (my) son, N., (my) beloved, 2 (my) eldest (son), (who is) upon the throne of Geb, with whom he has been satisfied, 2 to whom he gave his inheritance in the presence of the Great Ennead. 3 All the gods are in exultation; they say: "How beautiful is N., with whom his father Geb is satisfied!

(246) 252 See, how N. stands there among (you), the two horns on him (like) two wild-bulls, 252 for thou art the black ram, son of a black sheep. 252 born of a white sheep, nursed by four sheep. 253 The blue-eyed Horus comes against you; guard yourselves against the red-eyed Horus, 253 furious in wrath, whose might no one withstands. 253 His messengers go; his runner hastens. 253 They announce to him who lifts up his arm in the East 254 that this One passes in thee of whom Dwn-`n.wi said: "He shall command my (?) fathers, the gods." 254 The gods are silent before thee; the Ennead lay their hands upon their mouth, 254 before this One in thee (of whom) Dwn-`n.wi said: "He shall command my (?) fathers, the gods." 255 Stand at the doorway of the horizon; open the double doors of b.w, 255 that thou mayest stand at their (the gods') head, as Geb at the head of his Ennead-- 255 they (the gods) enter, they are smitten with fear; they depart, they lift up their head. 256 They see thee like Min, chief of the two 'itr.t-palaces. 256 He stands, he stands behind thee, thy brother stands behind thee, thy relative (n) stands behind thee. 256 Thou perishest not; thou art not destroyed. 256 Thy name remains among men; thy name has its being among the gods.

(360) 603 To say: O lofty one, which is not sharpened (rubbed, or touched), thou Gate of Nut, 603 N. is Shu who came forth from Atum. 603 Nun (Nw), cause this (gate) to be opened for N.; 603 behold, N. comes; he is spiritual (i.e. "soul-like"), he is divine.

(513) 1168 To say: When father N. ascends to heaven among the gods who are in heaven; 1168 and when he stands by the great w`r.t; 1168 he hears the words of the blessed dead 1169 R` finds thee on the shores (or, lands) of the sky, in the ntiocean, in Nut. 1169 "He comes, who should come," say the gods. 1170 He gives thee his arm on (at) the 'iskn of the sky. 1170 "He comes who knows his place," say the gods. 1171 Pure one, assume thy throne in the boat of R`, 1171 that thou mayest sail the sky, that thou mayest mount above the ways (or, the far-off ways); 1171 that thou mayest sail with the imperishable stars; 1171 and that thou mayest voyage with the indefatigable (stars). 1172 Thou receivest the tribute of the evening boat; 1172 thou becomest a spirit in the D.t; 1172 thou livest in this sweet life in which the lord of the horizon lives. 1173 "Great Flood dwelling in Nut, who indeed has done this for thee?", 1173 say the gods who follow Atum. 1174 A greater than he hath done that for him, he who is north of the nti-ocean of Nut. 1174 He has heard his appeal; 'he has done for him what he said. 1174 He has received his, body in the court of the prince of Nun, 1174 before the Great Ennead.

(445) 824 To say: Nut, thou hast dawned as king of Lower Egypt, because thou hast gained power over the gods, 824 together with their kas, together with their heritage, 824 together with their food, together with all their possessions. 824 Nut, him thou causest to endure, he will live. 824 Nut, if thou livest, N. will live.

(442) 819 To say: That Great One is certainly fallen on his side; be who is in Ndi.t is thrown down. 819 Thine arm is seized by R`; thy head is lifted up by the Two Enneads. 819 Behold, he is come (again) as ; behold, Osiris is come as . 820 lord of the wine-cellar at the Wg-feast, 820 "good," as his mother said; "heir," as his father said, 820 conceived by heaven, born of the Dw.t. 820 Heaven conceives thee together with S'; 820 N. is born in the Dw.t together with S'. 821 He lives who lives at the command of the gods; so wilt thou live. 821 Thou ascendest with S' on the eastern side of the sky; 821 thou descendest with S' on the western side of the sky. 822 Your third is Sothis of the pure places, 822 she is your leader (or, who will lead you) by the beautiful ways in heaven, 822 in the Marsh of Reeds. 21. SECOND SERIES IN PRAISE OF NUT,

(427) 777 To say: Nut, spread thyself over thy son, Osiris N.; 777 hide him from Set; protect him, Nut. 777 Thou art come, that thou mayest protect (lit. hide) thy son; come now, protect this Great One.

(588) 1607 To say: Osiris N., thy mother Nut has spread herself over thee, in her name of "She of St-p.t"; 1607 she has caused thee to be as a god, in spite of thee, in thy name of "God"; 1608 she has protected thee against all evil things, in her name of "Great Sieve" (protectress). 1608 Thou art the greatest among her children.

(11) 8 To say by Nut: I unite thy beauty with this body (and with) this ba, for life, endurance, joy, health 8 of Horus, divine apparition, king of Upper and Lower Egypt, N. (of the land of) the two goddesses, divine apparition, N., 8 powerful lord (of Ombos), N., living eter[nally]. 2. RITUAL OF BODILY RESTORATION OF THE DECEASED, AND OFFERINGS, UTTERANCES 12203
