THE EGYPTIAN BOOK OF THE DEAD
Translated by E.A. Wallis Budge
Part 42
(Naville, op. cit., I, Bl. X)
THE CHAPTER OF FORCING A WAY INTO THE TUAT. The Am Khent priest
Nefer-uben-f, whose word is truth, saith:- Hail, Soul, thou mighty one
of terror. Behold, I have come unto thee. I see thee. I have forced
a way through the Tuat. I see my father Osiris. I drive away the
darkness. I love him. I have come. I see my father Osiris. He hath
counted the heart of Set. I have made offerings for my father
Osiris. I have opened all the ways in heaven and on earth. I love him.
I have come. I have become a Spirit-body and a Spirit-soul, who is
equipped. Hail, every god and every Spirit-soul, I have made the ways.
I am Thoth....
ANOTHER CHAPTER OF THE TUAT AND OF COMING FORTH BY DAY.
Open is the land of Unu. Shut is the head of Thoth. Perfect is the
Eye of Horus. I have delivered the Eye of Horus, the shining one,
the ornament of the Eye of Ra, the Father of the Gods. I am that
same Osiris who dwelleth in Amentet. Osiris knoweth his day, which
cometh to an end. I am Set, the Father of the Gods. I shall never come
to an end.
THE CHAPTER OF COMING FORTH BY DAY AND OF LIVING AFTER DEATH. The
Osiris Ani saith:- Hail, thou One, who shinest from the moon. Hail,
thou One, who shinest from the moon. Grant that this Osiris Ani may
come forth among thy multitudes who are at the portal. Let him be with
the Light-God. Let the Tuat be opened to him. Behold, the Osiris Ani
shall come forth by day to perform everything which he wisheth upon
the earth among those who are living [thereon].
