Chap. LXIV . THE CHAPTER OF COMING FORTH BY DAY IN THE UNDERWORLD . From the Papyrus of Nebseni

The LXIVth Chapter is probably one of the oldest of all, and
two versions of it seem to have existed in the earliest times .
The longer version is called the "Chapter of coming forth by
day in the underworld", and the shorter the "Chapter of knowing
the `Chapters of coming forth by day' in a single Chapter" .
On a coffin of the 11th dynasty both versions occur . The rubric
of one version says that it was discovered in the reign of Hesep-ti,
i . e ., about B . C . 4266, while the rubric of the other attributes
its discovery to the time of Menthu-betep, which is clearly a
mistake for Men-kau-Ra (Mycerinus) . Thus in the 11th dynasty
it was believed that the Chapter might even be as ancient as the
time of the 1st dynasty . There is little doubt that the Chapter was
looked upon as an abridgment of all the "Chapters of coming
forth by day", and that it had a value which was equivalent
to them all .

Text : (1) THE CHAPTER OF SNUFFING THE AIR AND OF
HAVING THE MASTERY OVER THE WATER IN THE UNDERWORLD.
The overseer of the palace, the chancellor-in-chief, Nu, triumphant, saith :- (2)

"Hail, Hap-ur, god of heaven, in thy name of `Divider of
"heaven', grant thou unto me that I may have dominion over
"(3) the water, even as the goddess Sekhet had power over
"Osiris on the night of the storms and floods . Grant thou that
"I may have power over the divine princes who have their habitations
in the place of (4) the god of the inundation, even
"as they have power over their own holy god of whose name
"they are ignorant ; and may they let me have power even as
"[he hath let them have power] ."

"My nostrils arc (5) opened in Tattu," or (as others say), "My
"mouth and my nostrils are opened in Tatau, and I have my
"place of peace in Annu, which is my house ; it was built for
"me by the (6) goddess Sesheta, and the god Khnemu set it up
"for me upon its walls . If to this heaven it cometh by the north,
"I sit at the south ; if to this heaven (7) it cometh by the south,
"I sit at the north ; if to this heaven it cometh by the west,
"I sit at the cast ; and if to this heaven it cometh by the east,
"(S) I sit at the west. I draw the hair of my nostrils, and I
"make my way into every place in which I wish to sit ."
In the Papyrus of Nefer-uben-f (see Naville, op. cit., Bd. I .
131 . 70) this Chapter ends quite differently, and reads :-
"I am strong in my mouth and in my nostrils, for behold
"Tem has stablished them ; behold, O ye gods and Khus. Rest
"thou, then, O Tem . Behold the staff which blossometh, and
"which cometh forth when a man crieth out in your names .
"Behold, I am Tem, the tree(?) of the gods in [their] visible
"forms . Let me not be turned back . . . . I am the Am-khent,
"Nefer-uben-f, triumphant . Let neither my flesh nor my members
"be gashed with knives, let me not be wounded by knives by
"you. I have come, I have been judged, I have come forth therein,
"[I] have power with my father, the Old man, Nu . He bath
"granted that I may live, he bath given strength unto me, and
"he hath provided me with the inheritance of my father therein ."
