(17) And these births or genitures have no beginning, but have so generated themselves from eternity; and as to this depth, God himself knoweth not what he is: For he knoweth no beginning of himself, also he knoweth not anything that is like himself as also he knoweth no end of himself.

(20) Said over a Boat of four cubits in length, painted green. And let a starry sky be made, clean and purified with natron and incense. And see thou make an image of Rā upon a tablet of light green colour at the prow of the Boat. And see thou make an image of the Deceased whom thou lovest, that he may be made strong in this boat, and that his voyage be made in the Bark of Rā, and that Rā himself may look upon him.

(12) I am Rā, who proceedeth from Nu, and my soul is divine. I am he who produceth food, but I execrate what is wrong

(2) But because at that time, when God created heaven and earth, there was yet no man who saw it, therefore it may be concluded that Adam before his fall, while he was yet in the deep knowledge of God, knew it in the spirit.
