(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.

(435) 786 To say: I am Nut, "the Granary." I have proclaimed the name of Osiris N., 786 namely, "Horus, beloved of the two lands, N."; "King of Upper and Lower Egypt, N."; 786 "nb.ti, beloved of the Corporation, N."; "falcon over gold, N. "; 787 "heir of Geb, his beloved N.", "beloved of all the gods, N."; 787 given all life, stability, prosperity, health, joy like R`, thou livest for ever. 20. MISCELLANEOUS TEXTS--SOME LARGELY OSIRIAN,

(438) 809 To say: O, O, I will do it for thee, O, my father, 809 for thou hast no father among men, thou hast no mother among mankind; 809 thy father is the great wild bull, thy mother is the young cow (lit. girl, or damsel). 810 Live a life, and thou shalt certainly not die a death, 810 like Horus lived, who dwelt in Letopolis, 810 after the great grave (hole) of Heliopolis was opened for him. 811 The great one of the t.t-sedan-chair-man and the great one of the `-sedan-chair-man of nti-'imn.tiw, 811 they give thee water on the beginning of the month and on the beginning of the half-month, 811 that thou mayest give to the great and lead the small. 811 Thou hast thy double-rib piece (sbti.w) from the slaughteringbench of nti-'imn.tiw, 811 in accordance with thy dignity among the lords of the 'im.

(258) 308 To say: N. is Osiris in a dust-storm. 308 His abomination is the earth; N. has not entered into Geb, 308 that he might be destroyed; nor has he slept in his house on earth, 308 that his bones might be broken. His wounds are effaced: 308 N. has purified himself with the eye of Horus; his wound is effaced by the two mourners of Osiris; 308 N. has let the running (of his wound) flow to the ground at u. 309 It is his sister, the lady of P, who wept for him. 309 N. is on his way to heaven; N. is on his way to heaven; on the wind; on the wind. 309 He is not hindered; there is no one by whom he is hindered. 309 N., he is "on his own," the eldest of the gods. 310 His bread comes on high with (that of) R`; 310 his offering comes out of Nun. 310 N. is one who comes again; 310 he goes, he comes with R`. 310 His houses are visited by him. 311 N. seizes kas; he frees kas; 311 he covers up evil; he abolishes evil. 311 N. spends the day; he spends, the night, while he appeases the two choppers in Wn.w. 311 Nothing opposes his foot; nothing restrains his heart.

(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.

(369) 640 To say: O Osiris N., stand up. Horus has caused thee to stand up. 640 Geb has caused Horus to see his father in thee, in thy name of "He of the royal castle." 641 Horus has given the gods to thee; he has brought them to thee, so that they may illuminate thy face. 641 Horus has given his eye to thee, that thou mayest see with it. 642 Horus has placed thine enemy under thee, 642 that he may carry thee, that thou be not far from him, 642 and that thou mayest come (again) in thy (former) state. The gods have bound (again) thy face to thee. 643 Horus has opened thine eye for thee, that thou mayest see with it, in her (the eye) name of "Opener of the way." 643 Thine enemy is smitten by the children of Horus; they made his smiting red (bloody); 643 they have punished him; he is severely punished, so that his smell is evil. 644 Horus has fitted thy mouth to thee; he has adjusted for thee thy mouth to thy bones. 644 Horus has opened thy mouth for thee; 644 thy beloved son has re-instated thy two eyes for thee. 644 Horus does not permit thy face to be without the power to see, 644 in thy name of "Horus chief of his subjects."

(14) Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard music and dancing. And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant. And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound. And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father out, and entreated him.

(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.

(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.

(173) 101 To say: Osiris N., Horus is come to take care of thee; thou art his father. 101 `b.t-barley.

(428) 778 To say: Nut, fall upon thy son, Osiris N.; 778 protect him, Great Sieve (protectress), this Great One among thy children.

(90) All the eagles and vultures and ravens and kites were gathered together, and there came with them all the sheep of the field, yea, they all came together, and helped each other to break that horn of the ram.

(417) 741 To say: A Great One slept on his mother, Nut. 741 Thy mother Ti.t clothed thee; 741 she carried thee to heaven, in her name of "Kite," 741 the fondling whom she found, her Horus. 741 Thy Horus is this one, O Isis; mayest thou bring his certificate (lit. arm) to R`, to the horizon.

(22) Like the earth or like a fetus I devour blood, If that 'Faithful Spirit' should shed my blood, At night I boil on the fire like a cooking-pot, It repents me that I planned a stratagem, Tell him to sate his wrath on my poor life, He is the 'Feast of Sacrifice,' and I his loving cow. The cow, whether it eats or sleeps, Know me to be that cow of Moses which gave its life, That cow of Moses was made a sacrifice, That murdered man leapt up from his deadness

(23) And the voices were heard in the house of Abraham, and Ishmael his son arose, and went to Abraham his father, and wept over Abraham his father, he and all the house of Abraham, and they wept with a great weeping.

(545) 1339 To say: Osiris N., he who killed thee is brought to thee; cut (him) up; perform his execution. 1339 Children of Horus, 1339 pi, Dw-mu.t.f, 'Im.ti, b-n.w.f, 1340 carry your father, this Osiris N.; lead him. 1340 Osiris, N., make thy endurance; open thy mouth; stand up.

(535) 1280 To say by Isis and Nephthys: 1280 The .t-bird comes, the kite comes; they are Isis and Nephthys. 1280 They are come in search of their brother Osiris; 1280 (They are come) in search of their brother N. 1281 Thou who art (here), thou who art (there), weep for thy brother; Isis, weep for thy brother; Nephthys, weep for thy brother. 1281 Isis sits, her hands upon her head; 1282 Nephthys has indeed seized the tip of (her) two breasts because of her brother, N.; 1282 Anubis being on his belly; Osiris being wounded; Anubis being before the fist (?). 1283 Thy putrefaction, N., is not; thy sweat, N., is not; 12 83 thy outflowing, N., is not; thy dust, N., is not. 1284 .ti son of .ti (is) at Mnii, coming as Mn.ti, 1284 to divide in three these your four days and your eight nights. 1285 The stars follow thy beloved b.wt, 1285 who is chief of thy nm (attendants); thou art chief of those who are chief of the nm.w (attendants); thou hast made nm the nm.w. 1285 Loose Horus from his bonds, that he may punish the Followers of Set; 1286 that he may seize them; that he may remove their heads; that he may take off their legs. 1286 Cut thou them up, take thou out their hearts; 1286 drink thou of their blood; 1287 count their hearts, in this thy name of "Anubis counter of hearts." 1287 Thy two eyes have been given to thee as thy two uraeusserpents, 1287 for thou art like Wepwawet on his standard, Anubis who presides in s-ntr. 1288 O N., the houses of the great who are in Heliopolis make thee "first"; 1288 the spirits and even the imperishable stars fear thee. 1288 The dead fall on their face before thee; the blessed dead(?) care for thee. 1289 "Eldest (son), 'Im is for N.," say the Souls of Heliopolis, 1289 who furnish thee with life and satisfaction. 1289 He lives with the living as Seker lives with the living; 1289 he lives with the living as N. lives with the living. 1290 O N., come, live thy life there, in thy name, in thy time, 1290 in these years, which are to be peaceful, according to (?) thy wish.

(218) 161 To say: Osiris, N. comes; he is displeased (?) with the Nine (Bows?), an imperishable spirit, 161 to count hearts, to seize kas, to subdue kas. Each of his functions 161 obliges him whom he (himself) protected, (as well as him who) asked him (to help him). There is no one who withdraws- 162 (such) would have no bread, his ka would have no bread, his bread would be withheld from him. 162 Geb has said, and it comes out of the mouth of the Ennead: 162 "Falcon, m-t-'iti.f," said they, "behold, thou art ba, thou art m." 163 N. comes, he is displeased (?) with the Nine (Bows?), an imperishable spirit, 163 who surpasses thee, who is more like thee, who is more weary than thou, who is greater than thou, who is fresher than thou, 163 who is more praised than thou. Thy time of silence about it is no more. 163 Behold what Set and Thot have done, thy two brothers, who knew not how to weep for thee. 164 Isis and Nephthys embrace ye, embrace ye; 164 unite ye, unite ye. 164 N. comes, he is displeased (?) with the Nine (Bows?), an imperishable spirit. 164 The Westerners, who are on the earth belong to N. 164 N. comes, he is displeased (?) with the Nine (Bows?) an imperishable spirit. 165 The Easterners who are on the earth belong to N. 165 N. comes, he is displeased (?) with the Nine (Bows?) an imperishable spirit. 165 The Southerners who are on the earth belong to N. 165 N. comes, he is displeased (?) with the Nine (Bows?), an imperishable spirit. 166 The Northerners who are on the earth belong to N. 166 N. comes, he is displeased (?) with the Nine (Bows?), an imperishable spirit. 166 Those who are in the underworld belong to N. 166 N. comes, he is displeased (?) with the Nine (Bows?), an imperishable spirit.

N. anoints himself with that with which you anoint yourselves; 1512 N. clothes himself with that with which you clothe yourselves; 1512 N. lives on that on which you live; 1512 N. drinks that of which you [drink]. 1513 N. is safe with you, he lives on that on which you live. 1513 May you give him of those possessions which your father Geb gave you, 1513 (so that) because of which none of you may hunger, because of which none of you may rot. 1514 Lay hold of the arm of N. for life before the sweet-smelling ones, 1514 unite the bones of N., assemble his limbs, 1514 that N. may sit upon his throne. 1515 He rots not; he stinks not; 1515 N. is not bound (bewitched) by your wrath, O gods. 1516 N. is come to thee, mother of N.; he is come to Nut. 150 Make the sky mount for N.; place the stars upside down for him. 1516 Let his odour be like the odour of thy son, who is come forth from thee; 1516 let the odour of N. be like that of Osiris, thy son, who is come forth from thee. 1517 Nun, lift up the arm of N. towards the sky, that he may support himself (on) the earth which he has given to thee, 151 7 that he may ascend, that he may rise to the sky, 1517 that he may do service of a courtier to R`. 1518 Horus chief of the spirits, who is before the sweet-smelling ones, 1518 awake thou in peace, as R` awakes, in peace; 1518 awake in peace, as Mdi awakes in peace. 1519. Let him put the writing of N. in his register before the sweetsmelling ones. 37. THE RESURRECTION OF OSIRIS WITH WHOM THE GODS ARE SATISFIED,
