To say: Hunger, come not to N., 551 go away to Nun, be off (begging) to the gbi-flood. 551 N. is sated; 551 N. hungers not by reason of that bread of Horus which he has eaten, 551 which his head-maid made for him, with which he is satisfied, (and) whereby he wins back his (normal) condition. 552 N. thirsts not by reason of Shu; N. hungers not by reason of Tefnut. 552 pi, Dw-mw.t.f, b-n.w.f, 'Im.ti, 552 they will expel this hunger, which is in the body of N., 552 and this thirst which is on the lips of N.

(339) 553 To say: The hunger of N. is from the hand of Shu; the thirst of N. is from the hand of Tefnut. 553 N. lives on the morning bread, which comes at its (appointed) time. 553 N. lives on that on which Shu lives; 553 N. eats, that which Tefnut eats.

(204) 118 Rejoice, O hoers; let the heart in the breasts of men be lifted up. 118 They have swallowed the 'bright eye of Horus which is in Heliopolis. 118 The little finger of N. draws out that which is in the navel of Osiris. 119 N. thirsts not, he hungers not; the heart of N. faints (?) not, 119 for it is in the hands of : which hold off his hunger. O fill (him), O fillers of hearts.

(211) 131 To say: The abomination of N. is hunger; he does not eat it; 131 the abomination of N. is thirst; he does not drink it. 131 It is N. who gives food to those who exist. 131 His nurse is 'i.t; 131 it is she who makes his life (through nourishment?); it is she who gave birth to N. 132 N. was conceived in the night; N. was born in the night. 132 He belongs, to the Followers of R`, who are before the morning star. 132 N. was conceived in Nun; he was born in Nun. 132 He has come; he has brought to you (some) bread of that which he found there.

(269) 376 To say: The fire is laid, the fire shines; 376 the incense is laid on the fire, the incense shines. 376 Thy fragrance comes to N., O Incense; the fragrance of N. comes to thee, O Incense. 377 Your fragrance comes to N., O ye gods; the fragrance of N. comes to you, O ye gods. 377 May N. be with you, O ye gods; may you be with N., O ye gods. 377 May N. live with you, O ye gods; may you live with N., O ye gods. 378 May N. love you, O ye gods; love him, O ye gods. 378 The p-pellet (of incense) comes, the pd-pellet (of incense) comes, (they) come forth from the thigh (or lap, m3.t) of Horus. 379 Those who have ascended are come, those who have ascended are come; those who have climbed are come, those who have climbed are come. 379 Those who lifted themselves up like Shu are come; those who have lifted themselves up like Shu are come. 379 N. ascends on the hips of Isis; N. climbs up on the hips of Nephthys. 380 The father of N., Atum, lays hold of the arm of N.; he assigns N. 380 to those gods, who are the nimble, the wise, the imperishable stars. 381 Mother of N., 'Ipii, 381 give to N. thy breast, 381 that N. may pass it over his mouth (taste it), 381 and that N. may suck thy milk, which is white, light and sweet. 382 That (yonder) land in which (where) N. goes, 382 N. will not thirst in it, N. will not hunger in it for ever.

(11) Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again; but whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.

(210) 126 To say: The judge is awake; Thot is up; 126 the sleepers are awake; they that are in Kns.t bestir themselves 126 before the great bittern, which comes forth from the marsh and Wepwawet who comes forth from the tamarisk-bush. 127 The mouth of N. is pure; the Two Enneads purify N.; 127 pure is this tongue which is in his mouth. 127 The abomination of N. is dung; N. rejects urine. 127 N. loathes his abomination. 128 The abomination of N., it is dung; he eateth not that abomination, 128 just as at the same time Set shrinks from these two companions who voyage over the sky. 128 R` and Thot, take N. with you, 129 that he may eat of that which ye eat, that he may drink of that which ye drink, 129 that he may live on that which ye live, that he may sit on that which ye sit, 129 that he may be mighty by that whereby ye are mighty, that he may voyage in that wherein ye voyage. 130 The booth of N. is an arbour among the reeds; 130 the abundance of N. is in the Marsh of Offerings; 130 his food is among you, ye gods; the water of N. consists of wine like that of R`, 130 N. compasses the sky like R`; N. traverses the sky like Thot.

(347) 563 To say: The mouth of N. is in incense; the lips of N. are in myrrh. 563 Descend, O N., from the field of thy ka to the Marsh of Offerings. 563 of N. is from the n`r.t; the meal of N. is like (that of) the divine boat. 564 The life of N. will be more than that of Rnp.t; the food of N. will be more than (that of) pi (the inundation). 564 O ka of N., bring (food) that N. may eat with thee.

(486) 1039 To say: Greetings to you, Waters, which were brought by Shu and lifted up by the two sources, 1039 in which Geb bathed his limbs, 1039 so that hearts were in the following of fear and hearts were in the following of terror. 1040 N. was born in Nun, 1040 when the sky had not yet come into being, when the earth had not yet come into being, 1040 when the two supports (of the sky) had not yet come into being, when unrest had not yet come into being, 1040 when fear had not yet come into being, which came into being on account of the eye of Horus. 1041 N. is one of that great corporation who was born before (all others) in Heliopolis, 1041 who will not be taken away for (on account of?) a king 1041 who (lit. they) will (not) be confiscated for (on account of?) high officials, 1041 who will not be executed, who will not be pronounced guilty. 1042 N. is such as has not been executed; 1042 he has not been taken away for (on account of?) a king, 1042 he has not been confiscated for (on account of?) high officials, 1042 his enemy has not been justified against him; 1043 N. has not become poor, his fingernails have not become long, 1043 no bones of N. have been broken. 1044 If N. descends into the water, 1044 Osiris raises him up and the Two Enneads bear him up; 1044 R` gives his arm to N. to the place where a god should be. 1045 If N. descends into the earth, 1045 Geb raises him up and the Two Enneads bear him up; 1045 R` gives his arm to N. to every place where a god should be. 23.

(400) 695 To say: The eye of Horus drips on the tuft of the dn.w-plant. 695 Ye two Horuses who are chief of the houses, great lord of food in Heliopolis, 695 mayest thou give bread to N., mayest thou give beer to N.; mayest thou refresh N., 696 while thou refreshest the dining-table (?) of N., 696 while thou refreshest the slaughtering-bench of N. 696 If N. is hungry, so will the two lions hunger; 696 if N. is thirsty, so will she of el-K�b thirst. 696 Hdnw.t, Hdnw.t, 696 bring not the smell of thy hdn to N.; 696 thou shalt not bring the smell of thy hdn to N. 18. UTTERANCES CONCERNING WELL-BEING, ESPECIALLY FOOD AND CLOTHES, 401-426

(460) 868 To say: O N., 868 thy water, thy cool water-libation is the inundation of the Great One (who) which is come forth from thee. 868 Now be still, hear it, this word which is said: "N., 869 he shall be a spirit at the head of the spirits, he shall be mighty at the head of the living, 869 be shall sit at the side (temple, of the head) of the nti-'imnti.w." 869 Thy two psn-cakes come out of the broad-hall; thy two ribs from the slaughtering-bench of the god. 870 O N., raise thyself up. 870 Receive for thyself this thy fresh bread, this thy fresh beer, 870 which is come from thy house, which is given to thee.

(685) 2063 To say: The waters of life which are in the sky, the waters of life which are in the earth come. 2063 The sky burns for thee, the earth trembles for thee, before the birth of the god. 2064 The two mountains divide, a god comes into being, the god has power over his body. 2064 The two mountains divide, N. comes into being, N. has power over his body. 2065 Behold N., his feet shall be kissed by the pure waters, 2065 which come into being through Atum, which the phallus of Shu makes, which the vulva of Tefnut brings into being. 2066 They have come to thee, they have brought to thee the pure waters which issue from their father; 2066 they purify thee, they fumigate thee, N., with incense. 2067 Thou liftest up the sky with thy hand; thou treadest (lit. layest) down the earth with thy foot. 2067 A libation is poured out at the gate of N.; the face of every god is washed. 2068 Thou washest thine arms, Osiris; thou washest thine arms N. 2068 Thy rejuvenescence is a god. Your third is a wd-offering. 2068 The perfume of an 'I.t-wt.t-serpent is on N. 2069 A bnbn-bread is in the house of Seker; a leg of meat is in the house of Anubis. 2069 N. is intact; the 'itr.t-palace is standing; the month (i.e. the moon) is born; the nome lives, 2070 which measurements have traced. Thou tillest the barley; thou tillest the spelt, 2070 with which N. will be presented for ever.

(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.

(205) 120 To say: O ye who preside over food, ye who are attached to plentifulness (gb) 120 commend N. to Ftk.t, the cup-bearer of R`, that he may commend him to R` himself, 120 that R` may commend him to the chiefs of the provisions of this year, 120 that they may seize and give him, that they may take and give him barley, spelt, bread, beer. 121 a. For as to N., it is his father who gives, to him; it is R` who gives to him barley, spelt, bread, beer. 121 For he (N.) is indeed the great bull which smote Kns.t. 121 For to N. indeed belong the five portions of bread, liquid, cake, in the mansion, 121 of which three are in heaven with R`, and two on earth with the Ennead. 122 For he is one who is unbound, he is indeed set free; for he is one who is seen, he is one who is indeed observed. 122 O R`, he (N.) is better to-day than yesterday. 123 N. has copulated with Mw.t; N. has kissed Sw-.t; 123 N. has united with Nbw.t. 123 N. has copulated with his beloved, deprived of tbtb (grain?, seed?) and of ss. 123 But as to the beloved of N., she gives bread to N.; 123 she did well by him in that day.

(3) 'Learn from me, my son, what are hunger and thirst. When a man is thus said to be hungry, water is carrying away (digests) what has been eaten by him. Therefore as they speak of a cow-leader (go-nâya), a horse-leader (asva-nâya), a man-leader (purusha-nâya), so they call water (which digests food and causes hunger) food-leader (asa-nâya). Thus (by food digested &c.), my son, know this offshoot (the body) to be brought forth, for this (body) could not be without a root (cause).

(274) 393 To say: The sky is overcast, the stars are darkened, 393 the bows are agitated, the bones of the earth-gods quake. 393 The agitations cease 394 after they have seen N. dawning (as) a ba, 394 as a god, who lives on his fathers and feeds on his mothers. 394 N. is lord of craftiness, whose name his mother knows not. 395 The honour of N. is in heaven, his might is in the horizon, 395 like his father, Atum, who begat him. He has begotten him mightier than he. 396 The kas of N. are behind him, his maid-servants are under his feet, 396 his gods are over him, his uraeus-serpents are upon his brow; 396 the leader-serpent of N. is on his forehead, she who perceives the soul (of the enemy), (as) a diadem, a flame of fire; 396 the might of N. is for his protection. 397 N. is the bull of heaven, who (once) suffered want and decided (lit. gave in his heart) to live on the being of every god, 397 who ate their entrails (?) when it came (to pass) that their belly was full of magic 397 from the Isle of Flame. 398 N. is equipped, he who has incorporated his spirits. 398 N. dawns as the Great One, lord of those with (ready) hands. 398 He sits, his side towards Geb (the earth). 399 It is N. who judges with him whose name is hidden, 399 (on) this day of slaying the eldest (gods). 399 N. is lord of offerings, who knots the cord, 399 who himself prepares his meal. 400 N. is he who eats men and lives on gods, 400 lords of messengers, who distributes orders. 401 It is "Grasper-of-the-top-knot" who is in k.w who lassoes them for N. 401 It is "The serpent with raised head (dr-tp)" who watches them (the gods) for N., who repels them for him. 401 It is "He who is upon the willows" who binds them for N. 402 It is "Khonsu who slaughters the lords (gods)," in that he beheads them for N., 402 and takes out for him what is in their body. 402 He (Khonsu?) is the messenger whom he (N.) sends forth to punish. 403 It is Ssm.w who cuts them up for N., 403 cooking for him a meal of them in his evening cooking-pots. 403 It is N. who eats their magic and swallows their spirits; 404 their Great Ones are for his morning meal, 404 their middle-sized ones are for his evening meal, 404 their little ones are for his night meal, 404 their old men and old women are for his incense-burning (or, fire). 405 It is "The Great Ones in the north side of heaven" who lay for him the fire 405 to the kettles containing them, with the thighs of their eldest (as fuel). 406 The inhabitants of heaven wait on N., 406 when the hearth was constructed for him with (out of) the legs of their women. 406 He has completely encircled the two heavens; he has revolved about the two lands. 407 N. is the great mighty one, who has power over the mighty ones. 407 N. is the `hm-falcon, who surpasses the `hm-falcons--the great falcon. 407 Whom he finds on his way, he eats for himself bit by bit. 407 The respect of N. is before (first of) all noble ones, who are in the horizon. 408 N. is a god older than the eldest. 408 Thousands serve him; hundreds make offering to him. 408 A certificate as (of) a mighty, great one is given to him by , father of the gods. 409 N. has dawned again in heaven; he is crowned with the Upper Egyptian crown as lord of the horizon. 409 He has smashed the dorsal vertebra; 409 he has carried off the hearts of the gods; 410 he has eaten the red crown, he has swallowed the green one; 410 N. feeds on the lungs of the wise ones; 410 he is satisfied by living on hearts as well as their magic. 411 N. is disgusted when he licks the emetics which are in the red crown, 411 (but) he is delighted when their magic is in his belly. 411'c. The dignities of N. shall not be taken from him, 411 (for) he has swallowed the intelligence of every god. 412 The lifetime of N. is eternity, its limit is everlastingness 412 in this his dignity of "If he wishes he does, if he wishes not he does not," 412 who is within the boundary of the horizon for ever and ever. 413 Behold, their soul (of the gods) is in the belly of N., their spirits are with N., 413 as his soup � la ntr.w, cooked for N. from their bones, 413 Behold, their soul is, with N., their shadows are taken away from the hand of those to whom they belong. 414 N. is as that which dawns, which dawns, which endures, which endures. 414 The doers of evil shall not be able to destroy 414 the favourite place of N. among the living in this land for ever and ever. 11.
