TIME, AND HE
SHALL EAT HIS FOOD SIDE BY SIDE WITH OSIRIS. IF THIS CHAPTER BE KNOWN BY
HIM UPON EARTH HE SHALL BE LIKE UNTO THOTH, AND HE SHALL BE ADORED BY THE
LIVING ONES; HE SHALL NOT FALL HEADLONG AT THE MOMENT OF ROYAL FLAME OF
THE GODDESS BAST, AND THE MIGHTY PRINCESS SHALL MAKE HIM TO ADVANCE
HAPPILY.

Of Travelling In The Boat Of Ra

[From the Papyrus of Nu (British Museum No. 10,477, sheet 28).]

ANOTHER CHAPTER OF TRAVELLING IN THE GREAT BOAT OF RA. The Osiris Nu, the
overseer of the palace, the chancellor-in-chief, triumphant, saith:

"Behold now, O ye luminaries in Annu, ye people in Kher-aba, the god
Kha(?) hath been born; his cordage hath been completed, and the instrument
wherewith he maketh his way hath [he] grasped firmly. I have protected the
implements of the gods, and I have delivered the boat Kha(?) for him. I
have come forth into heaven, and I have travelled therein with Ra in the
form of an ape, and have turned back the paths of Nut at the staircase of
the god Sebek."

Of Making Perfect The Khu

[From the Papyrus of Nu (British Museum No. 10,477, sheet 16).]

ANOTHER CHAPTER OF MAKING PERFECT THE _Khu_; [it shall be recited] on the
festival of Six. The Osiris Nu, the overseer of the palace, the
chancellor-in-chief, triumphant, saith:

"Behold now, O ye luminaries in Annu (Heliopolis), ye people in Kher-aba,
the god hath been born; his cordage(?) hath been completed, and the
instrument wherewith he maketh his way he hath grasped firmly; and the
Osiris Nu is strong with them to direct the implement of the gods. The
Osiris Nu hath delivered the boat of the sun therewith ... and he cometh
forth into heaven. The Osiris Nu sailed round about in heaven, he
travelleth therein unto Nut, he journeyeth along with Ra, and he voyageth
therein in the form of apes; [he] turneth back the water-flood which is
over the Thigh of the goddess Nut at the staircase of the god Sebaku. The
hearts of Seb and Nut are glad and repeat the name which is new. Un-neferu
reneweth [his] youth, Ra is in his splendors of light, Unti hath his
speech, and lo, the god of the Inundation is Prince among the gods. The
taste of sweetness hath forced a way into the heart of the destitute one,
and the lord of thy outcries hath been done away with, and the oars(?) of
the company of the gods are in vigorous motion. Adored be thou, O divine
Soul, who art endowed more than the gods of the South and North [in] their
splend
