(580) 1543 To say: Thou who hast smitten (my) father; he who has killed (one) greater than he; 1543 thou hast smitten (my) father, thou hast killed one greater than thou. 1544 Father Osiris N. I have smitten for thee him who smote thee as an ox; 1544 I have killed for thee him who killed thee as a wild-bull. 1544 I have overpowered for thee him who overpowered thee as an ox; 1544 thou art upon his back as he who is upon the back of an ox. 1545 He who stretched thee out as the stretched out ox; he who slaughtered thee as the slaughtered ox; 1545 he who stunned thee as the stunned ox-- 1545 I have cut off his head; I have cut off his tail; 1545 I have cut off his two hands; I have cut off his two feet. 1546 His upper fore-legs including (lit. "being to") his lower forelegs belong t[o Atum], father of the gods; 1546 his two thighs belong to Shu and Tefnut; 1546 his two sides belong to Geb and Nut; 1547 his two shoulder blades belong to Isis and Nephthys; 1547 his two shoulders belong to Mnti-'irti and Hrti,-- 1547 his spinal column belongs to Neit and eret; his heart belongs to Sekhmet, the great; 1548 that which is in the back part of his body belongs to those four gods, the sons of Horus, his beloved, 1548 pi, 'Im.ti, Dw-mw.t.f, b-n.w.f. 1549 His head, his tail, his two hands, his two feet 1549 belong to Anubis, who is upon his mountain; to Osiris who is chief of his department (or, thigh-offering). 1549 That which the gods leave belongs to the Souls of Nekhen and the Souls of Buto. 1550 Eat, eat the red ox, for the voyage by sea, 1550 which Horus did for his father, Osiris N.

God is a man-eater, and so humans are [sacrificed] to him. Before humans were sacrificed, animals were sacrificed, because those to whom they were sacrificed were not gods.

(437) 793 To say: Wake up for Horus; stand up against Set; 793 raise thyself up as Osiris, like the spirit, son of Geb, his first (born); 793 and stand up as Anubis, who is on the min-w (-shrine), 794 before whom the Ennead tremble. The three beginnings (of the divisions of the year) will be celebrated for thee; 794 thou purifiest thyself on the day of the new-moon, thou dawnest on the first of the month. 794 The great min.t (-stake) mourns for thee 794 as for "Him who stands without being tired," who resides in Abydos. 795 Earth, hear that which the gods have spoken, 795 what R` says as he spiritualizes N., 795 that he may receive his spirituality as one at the head of the gods, like Horus, son of Osiris, 795 while he gives him his spirituality among the watchers Of Buto, 795 while he dignifies him as a god among the watchers of Hierakonpolis. 796 The earth speaks: 796 The double doors of Aker are open for thee; the double doors of Geb are open for thee. 796 Thou goest forth at the voice of Anubis, while he has spiritualized thee, like Thot, 797 that thou mayest judge the gods, that thou mayest set a boundary to the Bows, 797 between the two sceptres, in this thy dignity of spirit, commanded by Anubis. 798 If thou goest, Horus, goes; if thou speakest, Set speaks. 798 Thou approachest the sea (lake); thou advancest to the Thinite nome; 798 thou passest through Abydos. 799 A portal is open for thee in heaven, towards the horizon; 799 the heart of the gods rejoices at thy approach. 799 They take thee to heaven in thy (capacity as) soul; thou art a soul (mighty) among them. 800 Thou ascendest to heaven like Horus, who is over the sdsd of heaven, 800 in this thy dignity issuing from the mouth of R`, 800 as Horus among the spirits, 800 whilst thou sittest on thy firm throne. 801 Thou withdrawest thyself to heaven; 801 the ways, of the Bows, which lead up to Horus, are made firm for thee; 801 the heart of Set fraternizes with thee as (with) the Great One of Heliopolis. 802 Thou hast voyaged over the Winding Watercourse in the north of Nut 802 as a star, which ferries over the ocean, which is under the body of Nut. 802 The D.t strikes (takes) thy hand, towards the place of , 803 after the bull of heaven had given thee his arm. 803 Thou nourishest thyself with the food of the gods, with which they nourish themselves. 803 The odour of Ddwn is on thee, the Upper Egyptian youth, who is come from Nubia; 803 he gives thee the incense wherewith the gods cense themselves. 804 The two children (twin?) of the king of Lower Egypt, who are on his head, the possessors of the great (crown), have given birth to thee. 804 R` has called thee out of the 'iskn of heaven, 804 as Horus who is chief of his department (or, presides over his thigh-offering) he of tw-t, lord of bw.t (the rebel city), 804 as the jackal god, nome-governor of the Bows, as Anubis who presides over the pure (holy) land. 805 He appoints thee as the morning star (god of the morning) in the midst of the Marsh of Reeds, 805 and thou sittest upon thy throne. 805 Thy dismembered limbs are collected by the two mighty ones, the crowns of Upper and Lower Egypt, as lord of the Bows. 805 Thine abundance is in the field of the gods where they nourish themselves. 806 Thou hast thy spiritualization; thou hast thy messengers; 806 thou hast thine understanding; thou hast thine earthly servants. 806 May the king give an offering, may Anubis give an offering (of) thy thousand of the young of antelopes 806 from the desert, as they come to thee with bowed head. 807 May the king give an offering, may Anubis give an offering (of) thy thousand loaves of bread, thy thousand mugs of beer, 807 thy thousand large loaves, which come from the broad-hall, thy thousand of all sweet things, 807 thy thousand of oxen, thy thousand of all things which thou eatest, on which thy heart is set. 808 The 'im-tree serves thee, the nb-tree bows its head to thee, 808 such as Anubis will do for thee.

(6) Then they said to them: "Because it has not been possible for you to talk, you shall be changed. We have changed our minds: Your food, your pasture, your homes. and your nests you shall have; they shall be the ravines and the woods, because it has not been possible for you to adore us or invoke us. There shall be those who adore us, we shall make other [beings] who shall be obedient. Accept your destiny: your flesh shall be tom to pieces. So shall it be. This shall be your lot." So they said, when they made known their will to the large and small animals which are on the face of the earth. They wished to give them another trial; they, wished to make another attempt; they wished to make [all living things] adore them. But they could not understand each other's speech; they could succeed in nothing, and could do nothing. For this reason they were sacrificed and the animals which were on earth were condemned to be killed and eaten. For this reason another attempt had to be made to create and make men by the Creator, the Maker, and the Forefathers.

(42) Isis is shown with her son Horus in her arms. She is crowned with the lunar orb, ornamented with the horns of rams or bulls. Orus, or Horus as he is more generally known, was the son of Isis and Osiris. He was the god of time, hours, days, and this narrow span of life recognized as mortal existence. In all probability, the four sons of Horus represent the four kingdoms of Nature. It was Horus who finally avenged the murder of his father, Osiris, by slaying Typhon, the spirit of Evil.
