The Egyptian Book of the dead by P. Le Page Renouf and Edouard Naville

_Chapter whereby the Heart(1.) is given to a person in the Netherworld._ He saith: Heart[41] mine to me, in the place of Hearts! Whole Heart[42] mine to me, in the place of Whole Hearts! Let me have my Heart that it may rest within me; but(2.) I shall feed upon the food of Osiris, on the eastern side of the mead of amaranthine flowers.(3.) Be mine a bark for descending the stream and another for ascending. I go down into the bark wherein thou art. Be there given to me my mouth wherewith to speak, and my feet for walking; and let me have my arms wherewith to overthrow my adversaries. Let two hands from the Earth open my mouth: Let Seb, the Erpā of the gods, part my two jaws;(4.) let him open my two eyes which are closed, and give motion to my two hands which are powerless: and let Anubis give vigour to my legs, that I may raise myself up upon them. And may Sechit the divine one lift me up, so that I may arise in Heaven and issue my behest in Memphis. I am in possession of my Heart, I am possession of my Whole Heart, I am possession of my arms and I have possession of my legs.(5.) [I do whatsoever my Genius willeth, and my Soul is not bound to my body at the gates of Amenta.] NOTES.
