CHAPTER IX.

_Chapter for opening the Tuat._


O Soul most mighty,(1.) here am I: I am come to thee that I may see
thee.

I open the Tuat that I may see my father Osiris and may drive away the
darkness.

I am he whom he loveth. I have come to see my father Osiris, to pierce
the heart of Sutu, and to perform all duties to my father Osiris.

I open all the paths in heaven and upon earth.

I am the son who loveth his father, and I am come as a mummied one,
glorious and well equipt.

Oh, all ye gods and goddesses, the path is made for me.

NOTE.

1. ⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂ ‘Soul most mighty,’ is one of the principal
names of Osiris. The whole chapter is spoken in the person of Horus, the
son of Osiris.
