He who puts his finger against this pyramid, this temple of N. and of his ka; 1278 he who will put his finger against the house of Horus in b.w, 1278 may Nephthys and Isis go against him -------- Geb. 1279 His case will be heard by the Ennead, 1279 he will be without support, his house will be without support; 1279 he is accursed; he is one who eats his (own) body. 27. TEXTS OF MISCELLANEOUS CONTENTS,

(213) 134 O N., thou didst not depart dead; thou didst depart living, 134 (so) thou sittest upon the throne of Osiris, thy `b-sceptre in thy hand, thou commandest the living; 134 (thy) mk-sceptre and thy nb.t-sceptre in thy hand, commanding those of secret places. 135 Thine arm is like that of Atum; thy shoulders are like those of Atum; thy body is like that of Atum; thy back is like that of Atum; 135 thy seat is like that of Atum; thy legs are like those of Atum; thy face is like that of Anubis. 135 Thou travelest over the regions of Horus; thou travelest over the regions of Set (or, the regions of Horus serve thee; the regions of Set serve thee).

(581) 1551 To say: This thy cavern there is the broad-hall of Osiris N.. 1551 which brings the wind. The north wind refreshes; 1551 it raises thee as Osiris N. 1552 Ssm.w comes to thee, bearing water and wine; 1552 nti-mnwt.f (comes) bearing the vases which are before the two 'itr.t-palaces. 1552 Thou standest, thou sittest like Anubis, chief of the necropolis. 1553 Aker stands up for thee; Shu dries (lit. something like. "lies down," Wb. V 366) for thee. 1553 They tremble who see the inundation (when) it tosses; 1554 (but) the marshes laugh; the shores are become green; 1554 the divine offerings descend; the face of men brightens; the heart of the gods rejoices. 1555 "Deliver N. from his bandages, which restrain (?) the living, O gods," 1555 (is) in the mouth of those who run to them on the good day of running (while running is good). 1556 "Set is guilty; Osiris is justified," 1556 (is) in the mouth of the gods, on the good day of the going upon the mountain. 1557 (When) inundations are upon the land, 1557 he who hastens with his soul goes to his cave; 1557 (but) thou marchest behind thy spirit towards Knm-'iwnw, 1557 like the successor of Hrti, chief of [Ns].t.

(2) My son, throw every robber out of your gates. Guard all your gates with torches, which are the words, and you will acquire through all these things a quiet life. But he who will not guard these things will become like a city which is desolate, since it has been captured. All kinds of wild beasts have trampled upon it, for thoughts which are not good are evil wild beasts. And your city will be filled with robbers, and you will not be able to acquire peace, but only all kinds of savage wild beasts. The Wicked One, who is a tyrant, is lord over these. While directing this, he (the Wicked One) is beneath the great mire. The whole city, which is your soul, will perish.

(548) 1343 To say: The mouth of the earth opens for Osiris N.; Geb said to him: 1343 "N. is great like a king, mighty like R`." 1343 "Come in peace," say the Two Enneads to N. 1343 The eastern door of heaven is open for him, to the abode of kas. 1344 The great Nut gives her arms to him, she of the long horn, she of the protruding breast. 1344 She will nurse N.; she will not wean him. 1345 She takes him to herself to heaven, she does not cast him down to the earth. 1345 She makes this N. remain as chief of the two 'itr.t-palaces. 1345 He descends into the boat like R`, on the shores of the Winding Watercourse. 1346 N. rows in the nbw-boat, 1346 where he takes the helm, towards the field of the two lower heavens, 1346 to the beginning of this land of the Marsh of Reeds. 1347 His arm is taken by R`; his head is raised up by Atum; 1347 his forward cable is taken by Isis; his stern cable is seized by Nephthys. 1348 b.w.t places him at her side, and puts him among the nti.w-s, 1348 as the herdsmen of (his) calves.

(477) 956 To say: The sky shakes, the earth quakes. 956 Horus comes; Thot appears. They raise Osiris from on his side; 956 they cause him to stand (as chief) among the Two Enneads. 957 Remember, Set, put in thy heart 957 this word which Geb spoke, this threat which the gods made against thee 957 in the house of the prince, in Heliopolis, because thou didst strike Osiris to the ground, 958 as thou, Set, didst say: "I have not done this against him," 958 that thou mayest prevail thereby, having been acquitted, that thou mayest prevail in spite of Horus. 959 As thou, Set, didst say: "It is he who defied me" 959 --and so arose his name of "'Ik-w-t"; 959 as thou, Set, didst say: "It is he who came too near to me" 959 --and so arose his name of "" 959 he with outstretched leg, with long stride, who inhabits the land of Upper Egypt. 960 Raise thyself up, Osiris; Set raised himself up, 960 after he had heard the threat of the gods, who spoke concerning the father of the god. 960 Isis has thine arm, Osiris; Nephthys has thy hand; thou goest between them. 961 Heaven is given to thee, earth is given to thee, the Marsh of Reeds, 961 the Horite regions, the Setite regions, 961 the cities are given to thee, the nomes are united for thee, saith Atum. 961 It is Geb who has spoken about it. 962 Whet thy knife, Thot, the sharp, the cutting, 962 which removes heads, which cuts out hearts. 963 It shall remove the heads, it shall cut the hearts 963 of those who would place themselves in the way of N., when he goes to thee, Osiris; 963 of those who would restrain N., when he goes to thee, Osiris. 963 Give him life and joy. 964 N. comes to thee, lord of heaven; N. comes to thee, Osiris, 964 that N. may wipe thy face, that he may clothe thee with the clothes of a god, 964 serving as priest to thee in the Ddi.t (necropolis). 965 It is Sothis, thy daughter, who loves thee, 965 who secures thy livelihood (or, makes thy yearly offerings), in this her name of "Year", 965 who conducts N., when N. comes to thee. 966 N. comes to thee, lord of heaven; N. comes to thee, Osiris, 966 that N. may wipe thy face, that N. may clothe thee with the clothes of a god, 966 while N. serves as a priest to thee in the 'Idi, 966 that he may eat a limb of thine enemy, 966 that he may cut it in pieces for Osiris, so that he may make him as he who is at the head of the butchers. 967 N. comes to thee, lord of heaven; N. comes to thee, Osiris, 967 that N. may wipe thy face, that N. may clothe thee with the clothes of a god, 967 that N. may do for thee that which Geb commanded that he should do for thee, 967 that he fasten thine arm on the 'nh-sceptre, that he lift up thine arm on the w-sceptre. 968 N. comes to thee, lord of heaven; N. comes to thee, Osiris, 968 that N. may wipe thy face, that N. may clothe thee with the clothes of a god, 968 while N. serves as priest to thee. 969 It is Horus thy son, whom thou hast conceived; he has not put N. over the dead, 969 he puts him among the gods, for he is divine. 970 Their water is the water of N., their bread is the bread of N., 970 their purification is the purification of N. 970 What Horus has done for Osiris, he has done for N.

(519) 1201 Further, to say: O r.f-.f, doorkeeper of Osiris, 1201 Osiris has said: "Let this thy boat be brought for N., 1201 in which thy pure ones ferry, 1201 that thou mayest receive a libation in this eastern (?) quarter of the imperishable stars 1202 that N. may ferry in it 1202 with that band of green tissue, 1202 woven, as an eye of Horus, 1202 to bandage with it that finger of Osiris which became affected." 1203 N. arrives, ssw, ssw. 1203 The shoals of the great sea protect him. 1203 The double doors with windows (of heaven) are open; the double doors of the lower region are open. 1203 Ye Two Enneads, take N. with you 1203 to the Marsh of Offerings, in accordance with the dignity (quality) of N., (of the) lord of the 'imw.w. 1204 N. strikes with the `b-sceptre; N. directs with the 'i-t-sceptre; 1204 N. conducts the servants of R`. 1204 The earth has been refreshed; Geb has been censed 1204 the Two Enneads have been ndd (?); 1205 N. is a ba which passes among you, O gods. 1205 The p`t-pool (?) has been opened up; the p`t-pool has been filled with water; 1205 the Marsh of Reeds has been inundated; 1205 the Marsh of Offerings has been filled with water. 1206 They come to these four long-haired youths, 1206 who stand on the eastern side of the sky, 1206 and who prepare the two reed-floats for R`, 1206 that R` may go thereby to his horizon. 1206 They prepare the two reed-floats for N., 1206 that N. may go thereby to the horizon, to R`. 1207 O morning star, Horus of the D.t, the divine falcon, the great green (?), 1207 children of heaven, greetings to thee in these thy four faces, which are satisfied 1207 when they see those who are in Kns.t, 1207 who drive away the storm from those who are satisfied. 1208 Give thou these thy two fingers to N., 1208 which-thou gavest to the beautiful one (Nfr.t), daughter of the Great God, 1208 when the sky was separated from the earth, and when the gods ascended to heaven, 1209 whilst thou was a soul appearing in the bow of thy boat of 770 cubits (long), 1209 which the gods of Buto constructed for thee, which the eastern gods shaped for thee. 1210 N. is son of Khepri, born from the vulva, 1210 under the curls of 'Iw.-`., north of Heliopolis, out of the forehead of Geb. 1211 N. is he who was between the legs of Mnti-'irti, 1211 that night when be made the bread plain, 1211 that day when the heads of the mottled serpents were cut off. 1212 Take thou to thyself thy favourite m`b-harpoon, 1212 thy spear which seizes the canals, 1212 whose two points are the rays of the sun, 1212 whose two barbs are the claws of Mfd.t, 1212 with which N. cuts off the heads 1212 of the adversaries, who are in the Marsh of Offerings, 1213 when he descended to the ocean (great green). 1214 Bow thy head, decline thine arms (bow in humility), great green. 1213 The children of Nut are those who descend to thee, 1213 their garlands on their heads, 1213 their garlands of leaves on their necks; 1214 (those) who cause to flourish the crowns (of the North) of the canals of the Marsh of Offerings 1214 for the great Isis, who fastened on the girdle in Chemmis, 1214 when she brought her garment and burned incense before her son, Horus, the young child, 1215 when he was journeying through the land in his two white sandals, 1215 and went to see his father, Osiris. 1215 N. opened his way like fowlers; 1215 N. exchanged greetings with the lords of kas; 1216 N. went to the great island in the midst of the Marsh of Offerings, 1216 on which the gods cause the swallows to alight. 1216 The swallows are the imperishable stars. 1216 They give to N. the tree of life whereof they live, 1216 that N. may, at the same time, live thereof. 1217 (Morning Star), cause thou N. to ferry over with thee, 1217 to this thy great field, which thou didst subdue with the aid of the gods, 1217 (where) thou eatest at evening and at dawn, which is full of food. 1218 N. eats of that which thou eatest; 12 18 N. drinks of that which thou drinkest. 1218 Put thou the back of N. 1218 against the post, against it who is before its sisters. 1219 Thou (Morning Star) makest N. to sit down because of his truth 1219 (and) to stand up because of his venerableness. 1219 N. stands; he has taken (his) venerableness in thy presence, 1219 like Horus who took the house (heritage) of his father from the brother of his father, Set, in the presence of Geb. 1220 Put thou N. as a prince among the spirits, 1220 the imperishable stars of the north of the sky, 1220 who direct the offerings and protect the gifts, 1220 who cause to come those things (offerings and gifts) for those who preside over the kas in heaven.

(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.
