Text : (I) THE CHAPTER OF COMING FORTH BY DAY AND
OF GAINING THE MASTERY OVER ENEMIES . The chancellor-in-
chief, Nu, saith :- (2)

"RA sitteth in his habitation of millions of years, and he bath
"gathered together the company of the gods, with those divine
"beings, whose faces are hidden, who dwell in the Temple of
"Khepera, who eat (3) the god Bah, and who drink the drink-
"offerings which are brought into the celestial regions of light ;
"and conversely . Grant that I may take possession of the cap-
tives (4) of Osiris, and never let me have my being among the
"fiends of Suti ! Hail, let me sit upon his folds in the habitation
of the god User-ba (i , e ., he of the strong Soul) ! (5) Grant
"thou that I may sit upon the throne of Ra, and let me have
"possession of my body before the god Seb . Grant thou that
"Osiris may come forth triumphant over Suti [and over] the
"night-watchers (6) of Suti, and over the night-watchers of the
"Crocodile, yea the night-watchers of the Crocodile, whose faces
"are hidden and who dwell in the divine Temple of the King
"of the North in the apparel of the gods on the sixth day
"of the festival, (7) whose snares are like unto everlastingness
"and whose cords are like unto eternity . I have seen the god
"Abet-ka placing the cord ; the child is laid in (8) fetters, and
"the rope of the god Ab-ka is drawn tight ( :)    Behold me .
"I am born, and I come forth in the form of a living Khu, (g)
"and the human beings who are upon the earth ascribe praise
"[unto me] . Hail, Mer, who doest these things for me, and who
"art put an end to by the vigour of Ra, grant thou that I may
"see Ra ; (10) grant thou that I may come forth against my
"enemies ; and grant thou that I may be victorious over them
"in the presence of the sovereign princes of the great god who
"are in the presence of the great god . If, repulsing [me], thou
"dolt not (11) allow me to come forth against my Enemy and
"to be victorious over him before the sovereign princes, then
"may Hapi-who liveth upon law and order-not come forth
"into heaven-now he liveth by Maat (12) and may Ra-who
"feedeth upon fish-not descend into the waters! And then,
"verily shall Ra--who feedeth upon right and order-come forth
"into heaven, and then, verily, (13) shall Hapi-who feedeth
"upon fish-descend into the waters ; and then, verily, the great
"day upon the earth shall not be in its season . I have come
"against my Enemy, (14) he hath been given unto me, he bath
"come to an end, and I have gotten possession [of him] before
"the sovereign princes ."

Text : (I) THE CHAPIER OF' KNOWING THE "CHAPTERS OF
COMING FORTH BY DAY" IN A (2) SINGLE CHAPTER . The over-
seer of the palace, the chancellor-in-chief, Osiris Nu, triumphant,
begotten of the overseer of the palace, Amen-hetep, triumphant,
saith :-

"I am Yesterday and To-morrow ; and I have the power, to
"be born a second time . [I am] the divine hidden (3) Soul, who
"createth the gods, and who giveth sepulchral meals to the
"divine hidden beings [in the Tuat (underworld)], in Amenti,
"and in heaven . [I am] the rudder of the east, the possessor of
"two divine faces wherein his beams are seen . (4) I am the lord
"of those who are raised up, [the lord] who cometh forth from
"out of the darkness . [Hail,] ye two divine Hawks who are
"perched upon your resting-places, and who hearken unto the
"(5) things which are said by him, the thigh [of the sacrifice]
"is tied to the neck, and the buttocks [are laid] upon the head
"of Amentet . May the Ur-urti (6) goddesses (i . e ., Isis and
"Nephthys) grant such gifts unto me when my tears start from
"me as I look on . `I know the abysses' is thy name . [I] work
"for [you], 0 ye (7) Kkus, who are in number [four] millions,
"[six] hundred and one thousand, and two hundred, and they
"are [in height] twelve cubits . [Ye] travel on joining the hands,
"each to each, but the sixth [hour], (8) which belongeth at the
"head of the Tuat (underworld), is the hour of the overthrow of
"the Fiend . [I] have come there in triumph, and [I am] he who
"is in the hall (or courtyard) of the Tuat ; (g) and the seven (?)
"come in his manifestations . The strength which protecteth me
"is that which hath my Klin under its protection, [that is] the
"blood, and the cool water, and the slaughterings which abound (? ) .
"I open [a way among] (io) the horns of all those who would
"do harm unto me, who keep themselves hidden, who make
"themselves adversaries unto me, and those who are upon (I I)
"their bellies . The Eye shall not eat (or absorb) the tears of
"the goddess Aukert. Hail, goddess Aulcert, open thou unto me
"the enclosed place, and (12) grant thou unto me pleasant roads
"whereupon I may travel. Who art thou, then, who consumest
"in the hidden places? I am the Chief in Re-stau, and [I] go
"in and come forth (i3) in my name of `Hehi, the lord of mil-
"lions of years [and of] the earth' ; [I am] the maker of my
"name . The pregnant one hath deposited [upon the earth] her
"load . The door by the wall is shut fast, and the (r4) things
"of terror are overturned and thrown down upon the backbone(?)
"of the Bennu bird by the two Samait goddesses . To the Mighty
"One bath his Eye been given, and his face emitteth light when
"[he] (15) illumineth the earth, [my name is his name] . I shall
"not become corrupt, but I shall come into being in the form
"of the Lion-god ; the blossoms of Shu shall be in me . I am
"he who is never overwhelmed in the waters . Happy, yea happy,
"is the funeral couch of the (16) Still-heart ; he maketh him-
"self to alight upon the pool(?), and verily he cometh forth
"[therefrom] . I am the lord of my life . I have come to this [place],
"and I have come forth from Re-as-urt (I7) the city of Osiris .
"Verily the things which are thine are with the Sat- itt deities .
"I have clasped the sycamore tree and I have divided(?) it (18) ;
"I have opened a way for myself [among] the Sekhiu gods of the
"Tuat. I have come to see him that dwelleth in his divine uraeus,
"face to face and eye to (19) eye, and [I] draw to myself the
"winds [which rise] when he cometh forth . My two eyes(?) are
"weak in my face, 0 Lion[-god], Babe, who dwellest in Utent .
"(20) Thou art in me and I am in thee ; and thy attributes are
"my attributes . I am the god of the Inundation (Bah), and
"'Qem-ur-she' (21) is my name . My forms are the forms of the
"god Khepera, the hair of the earth of Tem, the hair of the
"earth of Tem . (22) I have entered in as a man of no under-
standing, and I shall come forth in the form of a strong Khu,
"and I shall look upon my form which shall be that of men
"and women for ever and for ever ."

Text : (I) THE CHAPTER OF COMING FORTH BY DAY IN THE
UNDERWORLD . Nebseni, the lord of reverence, saith :- (2)

"I am Yesterday, To-day, and To-morrow, [and I have] the
"power (3) to be born a second time ; [I am] the divine hidden
"Soul who createth the gods, and who giveth sepulchral meals
"unto the denizens of the Tuat (underworld), Amentet, and heaven .
"[I am] the rudder (4) of the east, the possessor of two divine
"faces wherein his beams are seen . I am the lord of the men
"who are raised up ; [the lord] who cometh forth from out of the
"darkness, and (5) whose forms of existence are of the house
"wherein are the dead . Hail, ye two hawks who are perched upon
"your resting-places, who hearken unto (6) the things which are
"said by him, who guide the bier to the hidden place, who lead
"along Rd, and (7) who follow [him] into the uppermost place of
"the shrine which is in the celestial heights! [Hail,] lord of the
"shrine which standeth in the middle of the earth . (8) He is I,
"and I am he, and Ptah hath covered his sky with crystal. [Hail]
"Rd, thou who art content, thy heart (g) is glad by reason of
"thy beautiful law of the day ; thou enterest in by Khemennu (?)
"and comest forth at the cast, and the divine (10) first-born
"beings who are in [thy] presence cry out with gladness [unto
"thee] . Make thou thy roads glad for me, and make broad for
"me thy paths (11) when I shall set out from earth for the life
"in the celestial regions . Send forth thy light upon me, O Soul
"unknown, for I am [one] of those who are about to enter in,
"and the divine speech is in (12) [my] ears in the Tuat (under-
"world), and let no defects of my mother be [imputed] unto me ;
"let me be delivered and let me be safe from (13) him whose
"divine eyes sleep at eventide, when [he] gathereth together and
"finisheth [the day] in night . I flood [the land] with water and
"`Qem-ur' is (14) my name and the garment wherewith I am
"clothed is complete . Hail, thou divine prince Ati-she-f, cry out
"unto those divine beings who dwell in their hair at the (15)
"season when the god is [lifted upon] the shoulder, saying
"'Come thou who [dwellest] above thy divine abyss of water,
"for verily (16) the thigh [of the sacrifice] is tied to the neck,
"and the buttocks are [laid] upon the head of Amentet .' May the
"Ur-urti goddesses (i. e ., Isis and Nephthys) grant [such] gifts
"unto me when my tears start from me as I see myself (17)
"journeying with the divine Tend in Abydos, and the wooden
"fastenings which fasten the four doors above thee are in thy
"power (18) within thy garment . Thy face is like that of a
"greyhound which scenteth with his nose the place whither I
"go on my feet . The god (19) Aliau transporteth me to the
"chamber(?), and [my] nurse is the divine double Lion-god
 himself. I am made strong and I (20) come forth like him that
"forceth a way through the gate, and the radiance which my
"heart bath made is enduring ; `I know the abysses' is thy name.
"I work for you, (21) O ye Khus-four millions, six-hundred
"thousand, one thousand and two hundred are they-concerning
"the things which are there . [I am] over their affairs working
"(22) for hours and days in setting straight the shoulders of the
"twelve Sah gods, (23) and joining the hands of their company,
"each to each ; the sixth who is at the head of the abyss is the
"hour of the defeat of the Fiends . [I] have come (24) there in
"triumph, and [I am] he who is in the halls (or courtyards) of
"the underworld, and I am he who is laid under tribute to (25)
"Shu. I rise as the Lord of Life through the beautiful law of
"this day and it is their blood and the cool water of [their]
"slaughter (26) which make the union of the earth to blossom .
"I make a way among the horns of all those who make them-
selves strong against me, and [among] those who in secret (27)
"make themselves adversaries unto me, and who are upon their
"bellies . I have come as the envoy of my Lord (28) of lords
"to give counsel [concerning] Osiris ; the eye shall not absorb ,
"its tears . I am the divine envoy (?) of (29) the house of him
"that dwelleth in his possessions, and I have come from Sekhem
"to Annu to make known to the Benrnt bird therein concerning
"the events of (30) the "1'uat (underworld) . Hail, thou Aukert,
e ., underworld) which hidest thy companion who is in thee,
"thou creator of forms of existence like the god Kheperd, grant
"thou that (31) Nebseni, the scribe and designer to the temples
"of the South and of the North, may come forth (32) to see
"the Disk, and that his journeyings forth (?) may be in the pre-
sence of the great god, that is to say, Shu, who dwelleth in
"everlastingness . Let me journey on in peace ; ( 33) let me pass
"over the sky ; let me adore the radiance of the splendour [which
"is in] my sight ; let me soar like a bird to see (34) the com-
panies (?) of the Klurs in the presence of Ra day by day, who
"vivifieth every human being (35) that walketh upon the regions
"which are upon the earth . Hail, Hemti (i . e., Runner) ; Hail,
"Hemti ; who carriest away the shades of the dead (36) and the
"Khus from earth, grant thou unto me a prosperous way to the
"Tuat (underworld), such as is made for the favoured ones [of
"the god], because (37) [I am] helpless to gather together the
"emanations which come from me . Who art thou, then, who
"consumest in its hidden place? (38) 1 am the Chief in Re-stau,
"and `He that goeth in in his own name and cometh forth in
"that of I-lehi (?), the lord of millions of years, and of the earth,'
"is my name . The pregnant goddess bath (39) deposited [upon
"the earth] her load, and hath given birth to Hit straightway ;
"the closed door which is by the wall is overthrown, (40) it is
"turned upside down and I rejoice thereat . To the Mighty One
"hath his eye been given, and it sendeth forth light from his
"face when the earth becometh light (or at day-break) . I shall
"not become corrupt (41), but I shall come into being in the
"form of the Lion-god and like the blossoms of Shu ; I am the
"being who is never overwhelmed in the waters . Happy, yea
"happy is he that looked upon the funeral couch which bath
"come to its place of rest, upon the happy day (42) of the
"god whose heart resteth, who maketh his place of alighting
"[thereon] . I am he who cometh forth by day ; the lord of
"the bier which giveth life in the presence of Osiris . (43) In
"very truth the things which are thine are stable each day, O
"scribe, artist, child of the Seshet chamber, Nebseni, lord of
"veneration . I clasp the sycamore tree, (44) 1 myself am joined
`unto the sycamore tree, and its arms] are opened unto me
"graciously . I have come and I have clasped the Utchat, (45) and
"I have caused it to be seated in peace upon its throne . I have
"come to see Ra when he setteth, and I absorb into myself the
"winds [which arise] (46) when he cometh forth, and both my
"hands are clean to adore him . I have gathered together [all
"my members], I have gathered together [all my members] . I
"soar like a bird (47) and I descend upon the earth, and mine
"eye maketh me to walk thereon in my footsteps . I am the child
"of yesterday and the Akeru (48) gods of the earth have made
"me to come into being, and they have made me strong for my
"moment [of coming forth] . I hide with the god Aba-aaiu who
"will walk (49) behind me, and my members shall germinate,
"and my khit shall be as an amulet for my body and as one
"who watcheth [to protect] my soul (So) and to defend it and
"to converse therewith ; and the company of the gods shall
"hearken unto my words ."

Rubric : IF THIS CHAPTER BE KNOWN [BY THE DECEASED] HE SHALL
BE VICTORIOUS BOTH UPON EARTH AND IN (5i) THE UNDERWORLD . HE
SHALL DO WHATSOEVER A MAN DOETH WHO IS UPON THE EARTH, AND
HE SHALL PERFORM ALL THE DEEDS WHICH THOSE DO WHO ARE [ALIVE] .
NOW IT IS A GREAT PROTECTION [GIVEN] BY THE GOD . THIS CHAPTER
WAS FOUND (52) IN THE CITY OF KHEMENNU INSCRIBED UPON THE BLOCK
OF IRON IN LETTERS OF LAPIS-LAZULI WHICH WAS UNDER THE FEET OF
THIS GOD.

In the Rubric to this Chapter as found in the Papyrus of
Mes-em-neter, the Chapter is said to have been "discovered in
"the foundations of the shrine of the divine Hennu boat by the
"chief mason in the time of the king of the North and of the
"South, Hesepti,t triumphant," and it is there directed that it
"shall be recited by one who is ceremonially pure and clean,
"and who hath not touched women, and who bath not eaten
"flesh of animals or fish ."

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 .

"be granted [to me] mastery over the water-courses as over the
"members (5) of Set . I go forth into heaven . I am the Lion-
"god Ra. I am the Bull . (6) [I] have eaten the Thigh, and I have
"divided the carcase . I have gone round about among the islands
