CHAPTER CXXXV.

_Another chapter recited when the Moon renews itself on the first day of
the month._


Osiris is enveloped in storm and rain: he is enveloped: but the fair
Horus lendeth succour daily, the Lord of high attributes . . . (1.) he
driveth off the storm from the face of the Osiris _N_.

Behold him coming: he is Rā on his journey: he is the four gods who are
over the upper region.

The Osiris _N_ arriveth at his own time: and by means of his lines is
brought to the light of day.

_If this chapter be known he becometh a Chu of Might in the Netherworld;
he dieth not a second time, in the Netherworld; but he eateth by the
side of Osiris._

_If it be known upon earth he will become like Thoth, so as to be
worshipped by the living: he will not fall a victim to a king’s
wrath(2.) or to the fierce heat of Basit, but will be made to advance to
a most blissful old age._

NOTES.

This chapter is not found in the papyri of the older period.

1. The words ⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂ _Offerings of_ (or _to_) _the
Moment_ have the appearance of an interpolated rubrical direction. _See_
next note.

2. _A king’s wrath_ ⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂. ⁂⁂ in the cases of
gods and men is an impulse which cannot be stopped, but carries
everything before it.
