VII 709 + 40). lift thyself up upon thy feet; follow thy heart. 1675 Thy runners hasten; thy messengers rush on behind; 1676 thy herald of the horizon comes; Anubis approaches thee; 1676 tp gives his arm to thee; the gods desire (or, rejoice) ---- 1676c (N.

(82) 84. 58 To say. 82. 58 To say: It is Thot who brings himself (here) with it. He comes forth with the eye of Horus. One table of offerings. To make a mortuary offering.

(20) It is doubtful that the deity called Thoth by the Egyptians was originally Hermes, but the two personalities were blended together and it is now impossible to separate them. Thoth was called "The Lord of the Divine Books" and "Scribe of the Company of the Gods." He is generally depicted with the body of a man and the head of an ibis. The exact symbolic meaning of this latter bird has never been discovered. A careful analysis of the peculiar shape of the ibis--especially its head and beak--should prove illuminating.

(252) 272 To say: Lift up your head, ye gods, who are in the Dw.t, 272 for N. is come. Ye see him (how) he becomes as, a great god. 272 Introduce N. with trembling; adorn N., 273 who has honoured ye all, (as) he commanded mankind (also to do). 273 N. judges those who live in the midst of the land of R`, 273 as N. speaks to this pure land, wherein he has established his residence, with the judge of the two gods, 274 N. is mighty in his presence; N. bears the m-sceptre, when he (Thot) would reject N. 274 N. sits with those who row R`. 274 N. commands the good, and he (Thot) does it, (for) N. is the Great God.

(513) 1168 To say: When father N. ascends to heaven among the gods who are in heaven; 1168 and when he stands by the great w`r.t; 1168 he hears the words of the blessed dead 1169 R` finds thee on the shores (or, lands) of the sky, in the ntiocean, in Nut. 1169 "He comes, who should come," say the gods. 1170 He gives thee his arm on (at) the 'iskn of the sky. 1170 "He comes who knows his place," say the gods. 1171 Pure one, assume thy throne in the boat of R`, 1171 that thou mayest sail the sky, that thou mayest mount above the ways (or, the far-off ways); 1171 that thou mayest sail with the imperishable stars; 1171 and that thou mayest voyage with the indefatigable (stars). 1172 Thou receivest the tribute of the evening boat; 1172 thou becomest a spirit in the D.t; 1172 thou livest in this sweet life in which the lord of the horizon lives. 1173 "Great Flood dwelling in Nut, who indeed has done this for thee?", 1173 say the gods who follow Atum. 1174 A greater than he hath done that for him, he who is north of the nti-ocean of Nut. 1174 He has heard his appeal; 'he has done for him what he said. 1174 He has received his, body in the court of the prince of Nun, 1174 before the Great Ennead.

(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. SECOND SERIES IN PRAISE OF NUT,

(505) 1089 To say: I am come forth from Buto, to the Souls of Buto, 1089 adorned with the adornment of Horus, 1089 clothed with the clothes of Thot. 1089 Isis is before me; Nephthys is behind me; 1090 Wp-w-wt opens the way for me; 1090 Shu lifts me up; 1090 the Souls of Heliopolis construct a stairway for me, 1090 to unite with the Above (i.e. to reach the top); 1090 Nut gives her arm to me as she did for Osiris 1090 the day that he landed there. 1091 O thou whose face is behind thee, ferry me over to the Marsh of Reeds. 1091 Whence art thou come here? I am come from wr.t; 1091 my companion is the uraeus-serpent, who comes forth from the god, the 'i`r.t-serpent, who comes forth from R`. 1092 Ferry me over; put me in the Marsh of Reeds- 1092 those four spirits who are with me- 1092 pi, Dw-mw-t-f, 'Im.ti, b-n.w.f- 1092 two on this side, two on that side 1093 (and) I will be the rudder. I find the Two Enneads. 1093 It is, they who give me their arm; 1093 I sit between them to give judgment; 1093 I command those whom I find there.

(6) Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God; and I will write upon him my new name.

(509) 1120 To say: Heaven speaks; the earth quakes: 1120 Geb trembles; the two nomes of the god shout; 1120 the ground is hoed; the wdn.t-offering is made before N., living, enduring, 1121 when he ascends to heaven, when he ferries over the vault, for life and joy: 1121 also when he traverses the foaming sea, destroying the walls of Shu. 1122 He ascends to heaven, 1122 the tip of his wings being like (that of ) a great bird, 1122 his entrails having been washed by Anubis; 1122 the services of Horus having been rendered (lit. served) in Abydos, (even) the embalming of Osiris. 1123 He ascends to heaven among the imperishable stars; 1123 his sister is Sothis; his guide is the morning star; 1123 they two take his arm as far as the Marsh of Offerings. 1124 He sits upon that (his) firm throne, 1124 whose knobs are lions, 1124 whose feet are the hoofs of a great wild-bull. 1125 He stands (or, he is erect) upon his elevated throne, which is between the two great gods, 1125 with his sceptre `b, the mni, in his hand. 1126 When he lifts his arm toward the blessed dead (?) 1126 the gods come to him bowing, 1126 and the two great gods watch at their side. 1127 They find him between the Two Enneads in giving judgment: 1127 "A prince of all princes this is," they say of him; 1127 (and) they appointed N. among the gods.

(478) 971 To say: Greetings to thee, Ladder of god; 971 greetings to thee, Ladder of Set. 971 Stand up Ladder of god; 971 stand up Ladder of Set; stand up Ladder of Horus 971 which was made for Osiris, that he may ascend upon it to heaven and do service of courtier to R`. 972 Thou art come in search of thy brother, Osiris, 972 after his brother Set had cast him on his side, 972 on yonder side of G.ti. 973 Horus comes, his lion-helmet on his head; his face he turns towards his father, Geb. 973 N. is thy son, N. is Horus. 974 Thou hast conceived N. as thou hast conceived the god, lord of the ladder, 974 to whom thou hast given the ladder of the god, to whom thou hast given the ladder of Set, 974 that N. may ascend to heaven on it and do service of courtier to R`. 975 Let also the ladder of god be given to N., let the ladder of Set be given to N. 975 that N. may ascend to heaven on it, and do service of courtier to R`, 975 just like gods who are gone to their kas. 976 The eye of Horus glowers (?) on the wing of Thot, 976 on the left side of the ladder of the god. 976 O men, a uraeus-serpent (goes) to heaven. N. is the eye of Horus. 976 After its foot has been stopped at every place where it was, N. goes as the eye of Horus goes. 977 Be pleased that N. come among you, ye his brothers, the gods; 977 rejoice at the approach of N., ye his brothers, the gods, 977 as Horus rejoiced at the approach of his eye, 977 after his eye was given (back) to him in the presence of his father, Geb. 978 Every spirit, every god, who shall oppose his arm to N., 978 when he ascends to heaven on the ladder of the god, 978 the earth shall not be hoed for him, the wdn.t-offering shall not be made for him, 978 he shall not ferry over to the evening meal in Heliopolis, 978 he shall not ferry over to the morning meal in Heliopolis. 979 He shall guard himself, he has obligated himself, (he) who will see, (he) who will hear, 979 that he (the deceased) ascends to heaven on the ladder of the god, 979 appearing like the uraeus-serpent which was on the forehead of Set. 980 Every spirit, every god who shall open his arms to N. (will be) on the ladder of the god. 980 United for N. are his bones, assembled for him are his limbs; 980 N. has sprung up to heaven on the fingers of the god, lord of the ladder.

(524) 1233 To say: N. is pure with the purification which Horus did to his eye. 1233 N. is Thot who avenges thee (the eye); N. is not Set who seizes it. 1233 Rejoice, O gods; rejoice, O Two Enneads. 1234 Let Horus approach N. 1234 N. is crowned with the white crown, the eye of Horus wherewith he is powerful. 1234 The gods rejoice for him who ascends. 1235 The face of N. is as that of a jackal; the two arms of N. are as those of a falcon; 1235 the extremities of the wings of N. are as those of Thot. 1235 May Geb let N. fly to heaven, 1235 that this N. may take the eye of Horus, to himself! 1236 N. has penetrated your frontier, ye dead; 1236 N. has overturned your boundary stones, ye who are before and with Osiris; 1236 N. has conjured the paths of Set; 1236 N. has passed by the messengers of Osiris. 1237 No god can hold N.; 1237 no opponent stands in the way of N. 1237 N. is Thot, the strongest of the gods; 1237 Atum calls N. to heaven for life. 1237 N. has taken the eye of Horus to himself! 1238 N. is the son of Khnum; there is nothing evil which N. has done. 1238 Weighty is this word before thee, O R`. 1238 Hear it, bull of the Ennead. 1239 Open the way of N.; enlarge the place of N. before the gods. 1239 N. has taken the eye of Horus to himself; N. has attached to himself that which went forth from his head. 1240 N. has caused him to see with both his eyes complete, 1240 that he may punish his enemies therewith. 1240 Horus has taken his eye and has given it to N. 1241 His odour is the odour of a god; the odour of the eye of Horus appertains to the flesh of N. 1241 N. is in front with it; N. sits upon your great throne, O gods; 1241 N. is side by side with Atum, between the two sceptres. 1242 N. is the wnnw (messenger?) of the gods in search of the eye of Horus; 1242 N. searched for it at Buto; he found it at Heliopolis; 1242 N. snatched it from the head of Set, at the place where they fought. 1243 Horus, give thine arm to N.; Horus take to thyself thine eye; 1243 it mounts up to thee; it ascends to thee; it comes to thee, N., for life; 1243 the eye of Horus comes to thee with N., before N., 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.

(674) 1994 To say: I have come to thee, I am thy son; I have come to thee, I am Horus; 1994 I give to thee thy mdw-staff before the spirits and thy nb.tsceptre before the imperishable stars. 1995 [I have found thee assembled], [thy (lit. his) face] like (that of) a jackal, thy (lit. his) seat like (that of) b.wt; 1995 she refreshes thy heart in thy body, in the house of her (lit. thy) father Anubis. 1996 Be pure and sit at the head of those greater than thou. 1996 Thou art seated on thy firm throne, on the throne of the First of the Westerners; 1996 thy tis.w, they are young. 1997. mnt.t salutes thee, like Isis; Hn.t acclaims thee like Nephthys. 1998 Thou standest at the head of the n.wt, of the double palace, like Min; 1998 thou standest at the head of Egyptians (km.tiw), like api; 1998 thou standest at Pdw-s, like Seker. 1999 Thou standest before the Rd-wr-lake. 1999 Thou hast thy 'b-sceptre, thy wire, thy fingernails; which are at hand (lit. "at thy fingers"); 1999 those who are before Thot are slain with the knife, coming from Set. 1999 Thou givest thine arm to the dead, to the spirits, who will take thine arm to the First of the Westerners.

(515) 1176 To say: Two legs of Horus, two wings of Thot, 1176 ferry N. over; leave him not without a boat! 1177 Give thou bread to N.; give thou beer to N., 1177 from thy eternal bread, this thy everlasting beer. 1178 N. is by these two obelisks of R`, which are on earth; 1178 N. is by these two holy signs of R`, which are in heaven; 1179 N. goes on these two reed-floats of the sky which are before R`; 1179 he brings this jar of the libation of R`, 1179 which purifies the land of the south before R`, when he ascends in his horizon. 1180 (When) N. comes to the field of life, to the birthplace of R` in b.w, 1180 N. finds b.wt, daughter of Anubis; 1180 she approaches him with these her four nm.t-jars, 1180 with which she refreshes the heart of the Great God, on the day of awakening. 1181 She (also) refreshes the heart of N. therewith to life, 1181 she purifies N., she censes N. 1182 N. receives his provision from that which is in the granary of the Great God; 1182 N. is clothed with imperishable stars; 1182 N. presides over the two 'itr.t-palaces, 1182 he sits at the place of him equipped with the form (of a man).

(504) 1082 To say: The sky is pregnant with the wine juice of the vine; 1082 Nut has given birth to (it) as her daughter, the morning star. 1082 I also arise; 1082 the third is Sothis of the pure places. 1083 I have purified myself in the lakes of the dancers(?) singers(?) or, panegyrists(?), 1083 I have cleansed myself in the lakes of the jackal. 1083 Thorn-bush, remove thyself from my way, 1084 that I may take the south side of the Marsh of Reeds. 1084 The m3'-canal is opened, the Winding Watercourse is inundated. 1084 The two reed-floats of heaven are placed for Horus, 1084 that he may ferry over to R`, to the horizon. 1085 The two reed-floats of heaven are placed for him of the horizon, 1085 that he may ferry over to R`, to the horizon. 1085 The two reed-floats of heaven are placed for Horus sm.t, 1085 that he may ferry over to R`, to the horizon. 1085 The two reed-floats of heaven are placed for Horus of the East, 1085 that he may ferry over to R`, to the horizon, 1086 The two reed-floats of heaven shall be placed for me, I, Horus of the gods, 1086 that I also may ferry over to R`, to the horizon, 1086 and that I may take my throne, which is in the Marsh of Reeds. 1087 I descend to the south side of the Marsh of Offerings. 1087 I am a Great One, son of a Great One; 1087 I am come forth from between the thighs of the Two Enneads. 1087 I have adored R`; I have adored Horus of the East; 1087 I have adored Horus of the horizon, 1088 as he girded himself with the apron, 1088 that he might be gracious to me, that he might be gracious to "Horus-on-his-throne(?)," 1088 that he might be gracious to "Horus-on-his-throne(?)," that he might be gracious to me.

(511) 1149 To say: Geb laughs, Nut smiles 1149 before him, (when) N. ascends to heaven. 1150 Heaven rejoices for him; the earth quakes for him; 1150 the tempest roars (lit. drives) for him. 1150 He howls (or, roars) like Set; 1151 a. the guardians of the parts (?) of heaven open the doors of heaven for him. 1151 He stands on Shu; 1151 he upholds the stars, in the shadow of the walls of god. 1152 He crosses the sky like Swnt; 1152 the third (with him) is Sothis of the pure places, 1152 for he purifies himself in the lakes of the Dw.t. 1153 The nmt-s-cow will make his ways pleasant; 1153 she will guide him to the great seat, which the gods made, which Horus made, which Thot begat. 1154 Isis will conceive him; Nephthys will bear him. 154 Then he will take his seat on the great throne which the gods made. 1155 Dw-w in jubilation and the gods in homage will come to him; 1155 the gods of the horizon will come to him on their face, 1155 and the imperishable stars, bowing. 1156 He takes the offering table; he directs the mouth of the gods; 1156 he supports the sky in life; he sustains the earth in joy; 1156 his right arm, it supports the sky in satisfaction (might 1156 his left arm, it sustains the earth in joy. 1157 He finds Stt, 1157 the crier, the door-keeper of Osiris. 1157 His abomination is ferrying over without doing 'isnw.t. 1158 He receives the wind of life, he breathes joy, 1158 and he abounds in divine offerings; 1158 he inhales wind and breathes out the wind of the North; 1158 he prospers among the gods. 1158 He is sharp like the great pd; 1159 he advances towards the two 'itr.t-palaces; 1159 he strikes with the 'b-sceptre and directs with the 'i.tsceptre. 1160 He puts his record among men, and his love among the gods, 1160 saying: "Say what is; do not say what is not; 1161 the abomination of a god is a deceitful word." 1161 Let him be tested! Thou shalt not speak (thus of) him. 1161 This N. is thy son; this N. is thine heir.

(355) 572 The double doors of heaven open. 572 O N., 572 thy head is joined for thee to thy bones; thy bones are joined for thee to thy head. 572 The double doors of heaven are open for thee; the great bolts are drawn back for thee; 572 a brick is drawn out of the great tomb for thee. 573 Thy face is that of a jackal; thy tail is that of a lion; 573 thou sittest upon this thy throne; thou commandest the spirits. 573 Thou comest to me, thou comest to me, thou comest indeed to me, 573 like (to) Horus after he had avenged his father, Osiris. 574 I am thine Anubis-priest. 574 Thou puttest thy hand on the land; thy warrior-arm is over the great region, 574 wherein thou goest (or, passest through) among the spirits. 574 Rise, lift up thyself like Osiris.

(220) 194 The two doors of the horizon are open; its bolts slide. I 94 He has come to thee, N.t (Crown of Lower Egypt); he has come to thee, Nsr.t (Uraeus); 194 he has, come to thee, Great One; he has come to thee, Great-inmagic (Crown of Lower Egypt). 194 He is pure for thee; he is in awe of thee. 195 Mayest thou be satisfied with him; mayest thou be satisfied with his purity; 195 mayest thou be satisfied with his word, which he speaks to thee: 195 "How beautiful is thy face, when it is peaceful, new, young, for a god, father of the gods, has begotten thee!" 195 He has come to thee, Great-in-magic (Crown of Lower Egypt). 195 It is Horus, who has fought in protection of his eye, Great-inmagic.

(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.
