will not eat thereof. That which is an abomination unto my KA shall not enter my body. I will live
upon that whereon live the gods and the Spirit-souls. I shall live, and I shall be master of their
cakes. I am master of them, and I shall eat them under the trees of the dweller in the House of
Hathor, my Lady. I will make an offering. My cakes are in Tetu, my offerings are in Anu. I gird
about myself the robe which is woven for me by the goddess Tait. I shall stand up and sit down
in whatsoever place it pleaseth me to do so. My head is like unto that of Ra. I am gathered
together like Tem.
Here offer the four cakes of Ra, and the offerings of the earth. I shall come forth. My tongue is
like that of Ptah, and my throat is like unto that of Hathor, and I remember the words of Tem, of
my father, with my mouth. He forced the woman, the wife of Keb, breaking the heads near him;
therefore was the fear of him there. [His] praises are repeated with vigour. I am decreed to be
the Heir, the lord of the earth of Keb. I have union with women. Keb hath refreshed me, and he
hath caused me to ascend his throne. Those who dwell in Anu bow their heads to me. I am
[their] Bull, I am stronger than [the Lord] of the hour. I unite with women. I am master for millions
of years.
[THE CHAPTER OF] MAKING THE TRANSFORMATION INTO THE SOUL OF TEM. The
Osiris Ani, whose word is truth, saith:- I shall not enter into the place of destruction, I shall not
perish, I shall not know [decay]. I am Ra, who came forth from Nu, the Soul of the God who
created his own members. What I abominate is sin; I will not look thereon. I cry not out against
truth, nay, I live therein. I am the god Hu, the imperishable god, in my name of "Soul." I have
created myself with Nu, in the name of "Khepera." I exist in them like Ra. I am the Lord of Light.
APPENDIX (From the Papyrus of Nu)
That which is an abomination unto me is death; let me not go into the chamber of torture which is
in the Tuat. I am the delight of the Khu of Osiris. I make to be content the heart[s] of those who
dwell among the divine things which are beloved [by me]. They cause the fear of me [to abound],
they create the awe of me to be in those divine beings who dwell in their own circles. Behold, I
am exalted on my own standard, and upon my throne, and upon my seat which is assigned [to
me]. I am the god Nu, and those who commit sin shall not destroy me. I am the firstborn of the
primeval god, and my soul is the Souls of the Eternal Gods, and my body is Everlastingness. My
created form is [that of] the god Eternity, the Lord of Years, and the Prince of Everlastingness. I
am the Creator of the Darkness, who maketh his seat in the uttermost limits of the heavens,
[which] I love. I arrive at their boundaries. I advance upon my two legs. I direct my resting place. I
sail over the sky. I fetter and destroy the hidden serpents which are about my footsteps [in going
to] the Lord of the Two Arms. My soul is the Souls of the Eternal Gods, and my body is
Everlastingness. I am the exalted one, the Lord of the Land of Tebu. I am the Child in the city:
"Young man in the country" is my name. "Imperishable one" is my name. I am the Soul Creator
of Nu. I make my habitation in Khert-Neter. My nest is invisible, my egg is not broken. I have
done away the evil which is in me. I shall see my Father, the Lord of the Evening. His body
dwelleth in Anu. I am made to be the Light-god, a dweller in the Light-god, over the Western
Domain of the Hebt bird.
[THE CHAPTER OF] MAKING THE TRANSFORMATION INTO THE BENU BIRD. The Osiris,
the scribe Ani, whose word is truth, saith:- I flew up out of primeval matter. I came into being like
the god Khepera. I germinated like the plants. I am concealed like the tortoise [in his shell]. I am
the seed of every god. I am Yesterday of the Four [Quarters of the Earth, and] the Seven Uraei,
who came into being in the Eastern land. [I am] the Great One (Horus) who illumineth the
Hememet spirits with the light of his body. [I am] that god in respect of Set. [I am] Thoth who
[stood] between them (Horus and Set) as the judge on behalf of the Governor of Sekhem and
the Souls of Anu. [He was like] a stream between them. I have come. I rise up on my throne. I
am endowed with Khu. I am mighty. I am endowed with godhood among the gods. I am Khensu,
[the lord] of every kind of strength.

[THE CHAPTER OF] MAKING THE TRANSFORMATION INTO A HERON. The Osiris the

the knives which are [held] at their heads [and] their beards; those who dwell in their emerald
[fields], the Aged Gods, and the Spirit-souls, are ready at the moment for the Osiris Ani, whose
word is truth, in peace. He maketh slaughter on the earth, and I make slaughter on the earth. I
am strong. I follow the heights unto heaven. I have made myself pure. I walk with long strides to
my city. I have become an owner of land there. I advance to Sepu...... is given to me in Unu. I
have set the gods upon their roads. I have made splendid the houses and towns of those who
are in their shrines. I know the stream of Nut. I know Tatun. I know Teshert. I have brought along
their horns. I know Heka. I have hearkened to this words. I am the Red Bull-calf which is marked
with markings. The gods shall say when they hear [of me]: Uncover your faces. His coming is to
me. There is light which ye know not. Times and seasons are in my body. I do not speak [lies] in
the place of truth, daily. The truth is hidden on the eyebrows. [By] night [I] sail up the river to
keep the feast of him that is dead, to embrace the Aged God, and to guard the earth, I the Osiris
Ani, whose word is truth.
APPENDIX (From the Saite Recension)
RUBRIC: If this Chapter be known [by the deceased], he will live like a perfect Spirit-soul in
Khert-Neter; no evil thing whatsoever shall overthrow him.
[THE CHAPTER OF] MAKING THE TRANSFORMATION INTO THE LOTUS. The Osiris Ani,
whose word is truth, saith:- I am the holy lotus that cometh forth from the light which belongeth to
the nostrils of Ra, and which belongeth to the head of Hathor. I have made my way, and I seek
after him, that is to say, Horus. I am the pure lotus that cometh forth from the field [of Ra].
