Chapter CLXX

C1hapter of arranging the funereal Bed.

2Thy limbs have been given thee, thou takest hold of thy bones, I have set for thee thy limbs; the earth is bent upon protecting thy flesh. Thou art Horus who was within the egg; when thou art raised, thou seest the divine body (of Rā), thou marchest towards the horizon, to the place where thou likest to be; and when thou art there, there are hailings and cries of welcome, with all (good things) which appear on the altar.

3Horus has raised thee when he rose himself, as he did for him who is in the sacred abode.

4Hail, Osiris, thou art born twice. Ua has raised thee, Anubis on his mountain has caused thy bandages to grow upon thee. O, N. Ptah Sokaris grants thee to put thy hand on the ornaments of the divine house.

5O, N., Thoth himself comes to thee with the writing of divine words; he grants thee to direct thyself towards the horizon of the sky to the place where thy ka likes to be; he has done it to Osiris on the night when he came forth living.

6Thy white diadem is established on thy brow. The god Nemu is with thee; he grants thee to be at the head of the...?

7Hail, N., arise on thy bed, and come forth. Thou are raised by Rā on the horizon of the Maati in his boat.

8Hail, N., thou art raised by Tmu, who grants thee to endure for ever.

9Hail, N., thou art raised by Amsu of Koptos; thou art adored by the gods of the shrine.

10Hail, N., blessed be thy coming in peace to thy house of eternity and to thy everlasting monument.

11Salutations to thee in Pu Tepu, in the shrine which thy ka loveth, within thy dwelling.

12Mighty is thy soul, thou hast been raised from thy resting couch (?), thou art greater than the victim (?) which has been embraced by the gods.

13Thou art like the god who begets the beings. It is admirable what thou createst more than that of the gods.

14Thy splendour is greater than that of the Glorified, thy spirits are mightier than those who are in (?).

15Hail, N., thou art raised by Ptah Anebefres, who puts thy dwelling in front of that of the gods.

16Hail, N., thou art Horus, the son of Osiris, begotten by Ptah, created by Nut. Thou shinest like Rā on the horizon when he lighteth the two earths by his rays.

17The gods say to thee: Come, come forth, see what belongs to thee in thy house of eternity.

18Thou hast been raised by Rennut, the great one, who conceived Tmu in the presence of the circle of the gods of Nut.

19I am the second outcome of the sky, and the third of him who makes his light. I have come out of the womb; I have been an infant like my father; there are no perverse actions of mine in the various events of my lot.
