Egyptian Book of the Dead

CHAPTER XI.

CHAPTER XI. Chapter for coming out against the adversary in the Netherworld. Here is the Osiris N . O Eater of his arm: away from his path! I am Râ coming forth from the horizon against his adversary, who shall not be delivered from me. I have stretched out my hand, as the Lord of the Crown, and lifted my feet. I shall not be given up; my adversary shall fall before me; he hath been given up to me and shall not be delivered from me. I rise up like Horus, I sit down as Ptah, I am victorious as Thoth, and powerful as Tmu: I walk upon my feet, I speak with my mouth, searching for him who hath been given up to me; he shall not be delivered from me. 20 Note. There is unfortunately no early text of this chapter, which we have in a very corrupt form, and can only restore conjecturally. The Eater of his arm is evidently Darkness, which is destroyed by the Sun.
