Chapter CXV

1hapter whereby one cometh forth into Heaven, and openeth the Ammehit: and whereby the Powers of Heliopolis are known.

2I have grown from yesterday, a Great one among the Great. I have raised myself above all things that come into being.

3The Face is revealed to the Eye of the Only One, and the round of darkness is broken through. I am one of you.

4I know the Powers of Heliopolis. Doth not the All-powerful One issue from it like one who extendeth a hand to us?

5It is with reference to me that the gods say: Lo, the afflicted one is heir of Heliopolis!

6I know on what occasion the Lock of the Male child was made.

7Rā was speaking with Amhauf, and a blindness came upon him.

8Rā said to Amhauf: Take the spear, oh offspring of Men. And Amhauf said: The spear is taken.

9Two brethren came into being: they were Heb-rā and Sotemanes, whose arm resteth not; and he assumed the form of a female with a lock, which became the Lock in Heliopolis.

10Active and powerful is the heir of the temple; the Active one of Heliopolis. The flesh of his flesh is the All-seer, for he hath the might divine as the Son whom the Father hath begotten. And his will is that of the Mighty one of Heliopolis.

11I know the Powers of Heliopolis; they are Rā, Shu and Tefnut.
