CHAPTER XXXIII.

CHAPTER XXXIII. Chapter whereby all Serpents are kept back. Oh serpent Rerek, advance not! Here are the gods Seb and Shu! Stop! or thou shalt eat the rat which Rā execrateth, and gnaw the bones of a putrid she-cat. Note. This chapter is often found in coffins. There is a chapter much resembling it in the tomb of Horhotep (line 364), at least as regards the opening words. It addresses Rerek and tells him that Shu and another deity are coming, and that the speaker is Horus. No allusion, however, is made to the dead rat and cat. These typify the impurities and abominations to which the damned are liable in the world to come.
