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

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.
