(690) 2092 To say: Wake up, Osiris; let the weary god awake. 2092 The god stands up; the god is powerful over his body. 2093 Wake up, N.; let the weary god awake. 2093 The god stands up; the god is powerful over his body. 2094 Horus stands up; he clothes N. with linen--him who came forth from him. 2094 N. is equipped as a god, standing in the pr.wr-palace, sitting with the Two Enneads. 2095 "O N., stand up, come in peace," says R` to thee; "messenger of the great god, 2095 thou goest to heaven; thou goest forth through the doors of the horizon; 2096 Geb sends thee; thou art a soul like a [god, respected like a god]; 2096 [thou art powerful] over thy body, like a god, 2096 like Ba, chief of the living, 2096 like m, chief of spirits." 2097 N. comes; he is equipped like a god; his bones are assembled like [Osiris]; 2097 [he comes behind his uraeus]. 2097 Thou hast come, O N., out of Heliopolis; thou art avenged; thy heart is placed in thy body; 2098 Thy face is like that of a jackal; thy flesh is like that of Atum; 2098 thy b is in thy body; thy m is behind thee; Isis is before thee; Nephthys is behind thee. 2099 Thou journeyest through the regions of Horus; thou travelest through the regions of Set. 2099 It is Shu and Tefnut who lead thee, when thou ascendest from Heliopolis. 2100 O N., Horus has woven his tent over thy head; 2100 Set has stretched out thy canopy; 2100 be enclosed, O father, by the divine tent; thou art brought there in thy beloved places. 2101 O N., Horus comes to thee provided with his souls, 2101 pi, Dw-mw.t.f, 'Im.ti, b-n.w.f. 2102 a. They bring to thee thy name of "Imperishable"; 2102 thou perishest not; thou diest not. 2103 O N., thy sister b.wt has purified [thee] 2103 in Rd-wr chief of the lakes. 2103 Thou appearest to them like a jackal, like Horus chief of the living, 2103 like Geb chief of the Ennead, like Osiris chief of spirits. 2104. Thou commandest spirits; thou leadest the [imperishable stars]. 2105 The evil of Osiris--the evil of N.--the evil of the bull of the Two Enneads-- 2105 the god is loosed (from it), N. has power over his body. 2105 N. is loosed (from it); N. has power over his body. 2106 O N., Horus, is standing, he glorifies thee; 2106 he conducts thee, when thou ascendest to heaven. 2107 Thy mother Nut receives thee; she lays hold of thine arm, 2107 that thou mayest not be in need, that thou mayest not moan (like a cedar), 2107 (but) that thou mayest live like the coleoptera (lives) and endure in [Mendes]. 2108 O N., thou art adorned like a god; thy face is like (that of) a jackal, as Osiris, 2108 that soul in Ndi.t, that mighty one in the great city. 2109. The sky trembles, the earth quakes before the god, before N. 2110 N. [is not enveloped] by the earth; 2110 'I.t-wt.t, thou art not enveloped by the earth. 2110 Thy fame is by day; thy fear is by night, as a god, lord of f ear. 2110 Thou commandest the gods like the mighty one, chief of the mighty. 2111. [O] Osiris, the overflow comes, the inundation hastens, Geb groans. 2112 I have pitied thee with pity; I have smitten him who acted with evil (intent) against thee; 2112 that thou mayest live, that thou mayest raise thyself up because of thy strength. 2113. O N., [the inundation comes 1, [the overflow hastens], Geb [groans]. 2114 Exult in the divine efflux which is in thee; let thy heart live; 214 thy divine limbs are in good condition; loosen thy bindings. 2115 Horus comes to thee, N.; he does for thee that which he did for his father Osiris, 2115 that thou mayest live like unto the life of those in heaven, and [that thou mayest come into being] more (truly) than those who are on earth. 2116 Raise thyself up because of thy strength; ascend thou to heaven. 2116 The sky bears thee like 3; thou hast power over thy body; 2116 thou defendest thyself against thine enemy. 2117. [O N.] [I have wept for thee], I have mourned for thee; 2118 I shall not forget thee; my heart will not weary to give thee offerings every day, 2118 at the (feast of the) month, at the (feast of the) half month, at the (feast of) covering the fire-pan, at the (feast of) Thot, at the wgfeast, 2118 at the (feast of) slaughtering, (at) the (feast of) thy years, (at) (the feast of) thy birth, at the beginnings of thy months, during which thou livest as a god. 2119. O N., may thy body be clothed, that thou mayest come to me. 58. TEXTS OF MISCELLANEOUS CONTENTS,

(675) 2000 To say: O N., "come in peace," says Osiris to thee; 2000 messenger of the Great God, "come in peace," says the Great God to thee. 2001 The double doors of heaven are open for thee; the (double doors of the) d.w-stars are open for thee, 2001 after thou art descended (into the grave) as the jackal of Upper Egypt, 2001 as Anubis on his belly (side), as Hpi.w who resides in Heliopolis. 2002 The great damsel who lives in Heliopolis has given her arm to thee. 2002 O N., thou hast [no] father, among men, who conceived thee; 2002 thou hast no mother, among mankind, who bore thee. 2003 Thy mother is the great wild-cow who lives in el-K�b, 2003 the white crown, the royal head-dress, she with the long feathers (hair?), she with the two hanging breasts, 2003 she will nurse thee; she will not wean thee. 2004 Raise thyself up, N., dress thyself in thy fringed-vestment, the first (best) in the house, 2004 thy d-mace on thine arm, thy Horus-weapon (m) in thy hand, thine m-sceptre on thine arm, thy d-mace in thy hand. 2005 Thou standest as he who is chief of the double 'itr.t-palace, who, judges the words of the gods. 2005 O N., thou belongest to the n.w (-stars), when R` shines behind the morning star. 2006 Lo, no god escapes from what he has said; 2006 he will offer thee thy thousand (loaves) of bread, thy thou sand (mugs) of beer, thy thousand of oxen, thy thousand of geese, 2006 thy thousand of everything on which a god lives. 53. RESURRECTION, TRANSFIGURATION, AND LIFE OF THE KING IN HEAVEN,

(573) 1478 To say: Awake in peace, smnw, in peace. 1478 Awake in peace, Eastern Horus, in peace. 1478 Awake in peace, Eastern Soul, in peace. 1478 Awake in peace, Harachte, in peace. 1479 Thou sleepest in the evening boat; thou wakest in the morning boat, 1479 for thou art as he who oversees the gods; no god oversees thee. 1479 Father of N., R`, take N. with thee, for life, to thy mother, Nut. 1480 The double doors of heaven shall be open for N.; the double doors of b.w shall be open for N. 1480 When N. comes to thee, that thou mayest make him live, 1480 command N. to sit by thy side, 1480 near the dw-canal on the horizon. 1481 Father of N., R`, commend N. to M.t, she who is at thy side, 1481 to cause to designate a place for N. near the Rd-wr-lake under b.w. 1482 Commend N. to Ni-'nh, son of Sothis, to speak for N., 1482 to establish a throne for N. in heaven. 1482 Commend N. to Wr-sp.f, the beloved Ptah, the son of Ptah, 1482 to speak for N., 1482 to cause food to grow for his dining pavillion on earth, 1483 for N. is one of those four gods, 1483 'Im.ti, pi, Dw-mw.t.f, b-n.w.f, 1483 who live on truth, who lean upon their d'm-sceptres, 1483 who guard the land of Upper Egypt. 1484 He flies, he flies from you, O men, as birds; 1484 he takes his flight from you (lit., he takes his arms from you) like a falcon; 1484 he takes his body from you like a kite; 1484 he is delivered from that which shackles his feet on earth, 1484 he is freed from that which ties his hands.

(264) 342 To say: The two reed-floats of heaven are placed for Horus that he may ferry over therewith to the horizon, to Harachte. 342 The two reed-floats of heaven are placed for N. that he may ferry over therewith to the horizon, to Harachte. 342 The two reed-floats of heaven are placed for Ssm.ti that he may ferry over therewith to the horizon, to Harachte. 342 The two reed-floats of heaven are placed for N. that he may ferry over therewith to the horizon, to Harachte. 343 The mn`-canal is open; the Winding Watercourse is inundated; 343 the Marshes of Reeds are filled (with water). 344 N. will certainly ferry over to yonder eastern side of heaven, 344 to the place where the gods will give him birth, where he will certainly be born, new and young, 345 when this hour of the morrow comes--the hour of the fifth -day, 345 the hour of the sixth day, the hour of the seventh day, the hour of the eighth day. 346 N. will be summoned by R`, he will be given something (to eat) by Nb-k.w, 346 like Horus, like him of the horizon, 346 when this hour of the morrow comes, the hour of the third day, the hour of the fourth day. 347 When N. stands there like this star which is on the under (side) of the body of the sky; 347 he judges as a god after he has listened like a prince. 348 N. calls to them and they bring to him those four gods, 348 who stand on the d`m-sceptres of heaven, 348 that they may speak the name of N. to R` and announce his name to Horus who inhabits the horizon. 349 He has come to thee; he has come to thee, 349 that he may be loosed from the bands and unbound from the fastenings. 350 He (R`) has freed N. from Hrti; he has not given him to Osiris. 350 N. has not died the death; 350 he has become an w (or, 3) in the horizon; he has become everlasting in the Ddw.t.

(51) No complete records are available which give the secret doctrine of the Egyptians concerning the relationship existing between the spirit, or consciousness, and the body which it inhabited. It is reasonably certain, however, that Pythagoras, who had been initiated in the Egyptian temples, when he promulgated the doctrine of metempsychosis, restated, in part at least, the teachings of the Egyptian initiates. The popular supposition that the Egyptians mummified their dead in order to preserve the form for a physical resurrection is untenable in the light of modern knowledge regarding their philosophy of death. In the fourth book of On Abstinence from Animal Food, Porphyry describes an Egyptian custom of purifying the dead by removing the contents of the abdominal cavity, which they placed in a separate chest. He then reproduces the following oration which had been translated out of the Egyptian tongue by Euphantus: "O sovereign Sun, and all ye Gods who impart life to men, receive me, and deliver me to the eternal Gods as a cohabitant. For I have always piously worshipped those divinities which were pointed out to me by my parents as long as I lived in this age, and have likewise always honored those who procreated my body. And, with respect to other men, I have never slain any one, nor defrauded any one of what he deposited with me, nor have I committed any other atrocious deed. If, therefore, during my life I have acted erroneously, by eating or drinking things which it is unlawful to cat or drink, I have not erred through myself, but through these" (pointing to the chest which contained the viscera). The removal of the organs identified as the seat of the appetites was considered equivalent to the purification of the body from their evil influences.

(553) 1353 To say: Geb has raised thee up; this thy spirit has been guarded for thee. 1353 Thy mns-jar remains; thy mns-jar is caused to remain. 1353 Thou art more exalted than Shu and Tefnut in the house of tmw.t (the destroyer), N., 1354 for thou art verily a spirit who wast nursed by Nephthys with her left breast. 1354 Osiris has given to thee the spirits; take the eye of Horus to thee. 1355 These thy four ways which are before the grave of Horus 1355 are those whereon one goes (lit. goes a going) to the god as soon as the sun sets (or, as far as the setting of the sun). 1356 He takes hold of thine arm, after Seker, chief of Pdw-s purified thee, 1356 (and he conducted thee) to thy throne which is in b.w. 1357 Raise thyself up, spirit of N.; sit, eat thou; 1357 let thy ka be seated, that he may eat bread and beer with thee without ceasing for ever and ever. 1358 Thy going is as a representative of Osiris; 1358 thy feet hit thine arms; 1358 they bring thee to thy feasts, 1358 to thy white teeth, (to) thy fingernails, (to) the Dw.f-nome. 1359 Thou ferriest over as the great bull to the green fields, 1359 to the pure places of R`. 1360 Raise thyself up, spirit of N.; thy water belongs to thee, thine abundance belongs to thee; 1360 thine efflux belongs to thee, which issued from the secretion of Osiris. 1361 The double doors of heaven are open for thee; the double doors of b.w are undone for thee; 1361 the double doors of the tomb are open for thee; the double doors of Nut are unfastened for thee. 1362 "Greeting," says Isis; "ferry on in peace," says Nephthys, 1362 after she had seen thy father, Osiris, on the day of the mm.tfeast (or, of feasting him who is in need ?). 1362 Elevated is the ddb.t-chapel of the double 'itr.t-palace of the North, thy Grg.w-b. 1363 Raise thyself up; shake off thy dust; 1363 remove the dirt which is on thy face; loose thy bandages. 1363 They are indeed not bandages; they are the locks of Nephthys. 13 64 Travel over the southern regions; travel over the northern regions; 1364 be seated on thy firm throne. 1364 Anubis, who is chief of the s-ntr, commands that thy spirit be behind thee, that thy might be in thy body, 1364 that thou remain Chief of the mighty ones (or, spirits). 1365 Thou purifiest thyself with these thy four nm.t-jars, 1365 (with) the spn.t and `t-jar, which come from the s-ntr for thee, that thou mayest become divine. 1365 The sky weeps for thee; the earth trembles for thee; 1366 the mnt.t-woman laments for thee; the great min.t mourns for thee; 1366 the feet agitate for thee; the hands wave for thee, 1366 when thou ascendest to heaven as a star, as the morning star. 1367 N. is come to thee, his father; he is come to thee, Geb; 1367 he is united with your dead, O gods. 1367 Let him sit on the great throne, on the lap of his father Mnti'irti; 1368 let him purify his mouth with incense and natron; let him purify his nails upper and lower. 1368 Let one do for him what was done for his father, Osiris, on the day of assembling the bones, 1368 of making firm (or, adjusting) the sandals, of crossing the feet (i.e. when ferrying over). 1369 To thee come the wise and the understanding; 1369 to thee comes the southern 'itr.t-palace, 1369 to thee comes the northern 'itr.t-palace, with a salutation, 1369 (thou) who endurest eternally at the head of the mighty ones. 31.
