His fight with the Nubian lion, his battles with the Philistines, who represent the Powers of Darkness, and his memorable feat of carrying off the gates of Gaza, all refer to aspects of solar activity. Many of the ancient peoples had more than one solar deity; in fact, all of the gods and goddesses were supposed to partake, in part at least, of the sun's effulgence.

(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.

(1) Do not, like fools, crave mercy from the spear, Wherefore do you cry to spear and sword, Seeing they are captives in the hand of that Noble One? He is as Azar, maker of idols; I am only the idol; Whatever instrument He makes me, that I am. If He makes of me a cup, a cup am I; If He makes of me a dagger, a dagger am I. If He makes me a fountain, I pour forth water; If He makes me fire, I give forth heat. If He makes me rain, I produce rich crops;

XIII 361-362). thou shalt be powerful over Lower Egypt as Horus, over whom thou art powerful; 1824 thou shalt be powerful, thou shalt be protected (in) thy body from thine enemy.

(649) 1830 To say: Osiris N., Geb has given thee all the gods, 1830 that they may unite with thee. Thou hast power over them; 1830 and they fraternize with thee, in their name of "n.wt"; 1830 they have not rejected thee in their name of ["The two 'itr.tpalaces"]. 1831 Osiris N., Horus has assigned them to thee, united (them). 1831a + 1. He has encircled for thee all the gods in the embrace of thy two arms, 1831a + 2. together with their lands, together with all their possessions, 1831a + 3. that they may do service of courtier, as thy "bodyguard." 1831a + 4.

Thou dawnest as Horus, king of Lower Egypt; they are fraternizing with thee, 1832b + 4. in alliance with Horus, king of Lower Egypt. 1832b + 5. Thou dawnest as king of Upper and Lower Egypt. 1832b + 6. Thou art powerful over the gods, also their kas. 1832b + 7. O Osiris N., thou art the two souls, thou shalt not die; 1832b + 8. Osiris N., thou hast spoken; thou hast rejoiced, Osiris N. 1832b + 9. Thou hast a ba, Osiris N.; thou hast life, Osiris N.; 1832b + 10. thou art powerful; thou destroyest thine enemies, Osiris N. 1832b + 11. Horus, thou hast made peace (to be) with Osiris N.- 1832b + 12. peace be upon her. 1832b + 13. Thou hast put thy regard upon her. 1832b + 14. May peace be to thee, which he gives to thee, (to) thy head.
