Chapter LIIIB

1hereby one eateth not dirt.

2I execrate, I execrate! I do not eat it.

3Dirt is what I execrate; I do not eat it.

4I execrate lye, I do not drink it.

5Let me not approach it with my fingers, let me not tread upon it with my sandals.

6Seb, the father of Osiris, hath ordained that I should not eat dirt or drink lye, but my father hath four times said that I should eat of the red corn.

7There are seven loaves in Heaven at Heliopolis with Râ, and there are seven loaves upon earth with Seb, and there are seven loaves with Osiris.

8It is the god of the Sektit galley, and of the Mââtit galley, who hath brought them to me at Heliopolis.

9I shout with joy, and my Genius shouteth with joy, because I am in Heliopolis, and I live in excellent condition before Râ, on the day when bread is presented in Heliopolis.
