1 [It happened that Re rose], the god who came into being by himself, after he became king, when humans and gods were still one. Then the humans [began to]
2 [plan a plot] […] a plot against Re. His Majesty—may he live, prosper, and be healthy—had grown old. His bones were silver, his flesh was gold, and his hair was real lapis lazuli. Then [His Majesty]
3 [recognized the plot] the humans had made against him. His Majesty—may he live, prosper, and be healthy—said to his followers, “Call my Eye to me, and Shu,
4 Tefnut, Geb, Nut, and the fathers and mothers who were with me when I was in Nun, the first waters. Call the god Nun too. Let him bring his attendants
5 with him. Bring them quietly, so that the humans do not see them and become afraid. Come with them to the palace. Let them state their firm proposals, so that
6 I may return to Nun, to the place where I came into being.” These gods were brought [at once]. They [stood] on either side of His Majesty and touched the ground with their foreheads in front of
7 him. He presented his case before the father of the eldest one, who created humans and rules his subjects. They said to His Majesty, “Speak
8 to us until we have heard it.” Re said to Nun, “Eldest god from whom I came into being, and you ancestral gods: look at the humans who came into being
9 from my Eye. They have planned a plot against me. Tell me what you would do about it. I am considering it. I have not killed them; I want to hear what you have to say
10 about it.” Nun said, “My son Re, you are a greater god than the one who made you, more important than those who brought you into being. Sit on your throne.
11 People fear you greatly when your Eye acts against those who plan evil against you.” Re said, “Look, they have fled to the desert. They are afraid because of what I said
12 to them.” They said to His Majesty, “Send out your Eye. Let her crush those who are planning evil against you. No other eye is as good as she is [at striking them for you].
13 Let her go down as Hathor.” The goddess returned after killing the humans in the desert. The god said, “Welcome, Hathor, who acted for the Creator, [after I came to her].”
14 The goddess said, “As you live for me, I took control of the humans, and it pleased me.” Re said, “I will take control of them [as king].
15 Do not reduce their number!” So Sekhmet came into being, the brew of the night, to wade in their blood from Herakleopolis onward. [Re] said,
16 “Call my messengers, those quick runners, so that they move like the shadow of a body.” The messengers were brought [at once].
17 The god said, “Go to Elephantine and bring me a great deal of red ocher.” The red ocher was brought to him. [This great god] had
18 [the one with a sidelock] in Heliopolis grind the red ocher. Meanwhile, servant women crushed barley to make beer. The ocher was put into the mash. [It looked like the blood]
19 of humans. They made 7000 hebenet jars of beer. Re, the king of Upper and Lower Egypt, came with the gods to inspect the beer. Dawn was breaking
20 on the time when the goddess would kill the humans as they traveled south. Re said, “This is good. I will protect
21 the humans from her.” Re said, “Carry the beer to the place where she said, ‘I will kill the humans there.’” At the end of the night Re, king of Upper and Lower Egypt, rose
22 to have this sleep-inducing drink poured out. Farmland was soaked with liquid to a depth of 3 handbreadths through this god's power. The goddess came
23 in the morning and found the land flooded. Her face looked beautiful in it. She drank, and it pleased her. She came away drunk and did not
24 recognize the humans. Re said to the goddess, “Welcome, lovely one.” So the Beautiful One of Imau came into being. Re said
25 to the goddess, “Let a drink that makes people drunk be made for her at the times of the yearly festival, and let it be assigned to my servant women.” This is how making that drink at the [Ip-Hemet] festival of Hathor began
26 among all people from the first day. Re said to the goddess, “Was the burning breath of pain painful?” So desire or possession came about through pain.
27 Re said, “As I live, I am much too tired of living with them. I will not even kill them. No one has
28 made the reach of my arm small.” The gods who followed him replied, “Do not withdraw because you are tired. You have power over what you want.” [The god] said
29 to Nun, “My body has grown tired for the first time. I will not wait until someone else attacks me.” Nun said, “My grandson Shu, let your Eye
30 protect your father. My great-granddaughter Nut, put him [on your back].” Nut said, “How, my grandfather Nun?” Nut said,
31 “[…] Nun!” Nut became [a cow]. Then Re [mounted] her back. The humans came
32 [from the place where they had fled]. They saw him on the cow's back. [Then] these humans said to him,
Nut Becomes the Starry Sky

33 humans. [They rebelled against you.] “Come to us so we can bring down your enemies, who are plotting against the one who made them!” His Majesty went
34 to [his] palace […] of this cow, [without going] with them. The land was in darkness. When the land grew light at dawn, these humans
35 came out with bows and sticks […]. They [raised] their arms to shoot at the enemies. This god said, “Let your evil deeds fall back on you, killers!
36 Killing was [far from what was made in the beginning].” So killing began among [humans]. The god said to Nut, “I have placed myself on your back so that you can lift me up.”
37 “What does that mean?” Nut asked, as she became [one of the beings of the sky]. The god said, “Stay away from them. Come to me. Look
38 at me.” So she became [the sky]. The god looked inside her. She said, “Please fill me with
39 a great number.” So […] came into being. [His Majesty] said, “Let the field here be peaceful.” This is how the Field of Offerings came into being. “I will make plants grow
40 in it.” This is how the Field of Reeds came into being. “I will fill it with everything.” This is how the Achach constellations and stars came into being. Nut began to tremble
41 because [she was so high]. Re said, “I need millions to support her!” This is how the Heh gods came into being. Re said,
42 “My son Shu, go beneath my granddaughter Nut. Watch over the Heh gods for me there so they can live in the dark. Put
43 her above you and support her.” This is how the custom of giving a nurse to a son and a daughter began, and how a father came to lift his son above his head.
44 This spell must be spoken over a cow with Heh gods in front of her chest and Heh gods behind her back.
45 A cubit and 4 handbreadths of her are to be painted. The group of nine stars is on her body, coming out of her rear in front of her hind legs. Shu
46 is beneath her body. He is to be made with yellow orpiment. His two arms support these stars. Write his name between them: “Shu
47 himself.” A boat with a steering oar and shrine in it, the sun disk above it, and Re in it is to appear in front of Shu beside his hand. Another version
48 is to appear behind him beside his other hand. Make her udder between her two eastern hind legs. Draw half of it in the middle of a leg,
49 with the inscription outside: “I am who I am. I will not allow action.” Write those words downward. Under the boat at the front, write, “You will not grow tired,
50 my son.” The words are written downward. Then write, “Your condition is like that of someone who lives forever.” Also write there, “I am your son. May life, prosperity, and health be at this nose of yours!”
51 Behind Shu beside his arm, write, “Protect them!” Behind him near his groin, write downward:
52 “Their entry goes well, while I withdraw each day.” Under the arm of the figure under the left leg, behind that leg, write:
53 “Let all things be sealed.” Above his head, beneath the rear of the cow, between her hind legs, write:
54 “The one belonging to his departure.” Behind the two figures between her hind legs and above their heads, write, “Old man in the realm of silence. Jubilant cries
55 are also given as he enters.” Above the heads of the two figures between her front legs, write: “Duamutef, Atum, support of the sky.”
56 This god said to Thoth, “Call Geb for me. Tell him, ‘Come here quickly!’” Geb came. The god told him, “Pay attention
57 to your snakes inside you. They feared me when I was [there]. You know their magic power. Go to the place where my father Nun is and tell him to guard
58 those in the earth and water. Also make a written message concerning every hill for your snakes there: ‘Do not play any games!’ They must know I am here.
59 Look, I rise for them […]. And their equipment will remain in this land forever. Beware of those magicians
60 who know their spells. The magician himself is there. Look, I am the one who has taken him in. I was not protected from danger; that had happened
61 before me. I assign them to your son Osiris. He guards their young and makes their elders forget there. May those who have acted
62 as they please against the whole land now do good with the spells inside their bodies!” This god said, “Call Thoth to me!” He was brought at once. The god said
63 to Thoth, “Look, I am here in the sky,
64 in my place, because I will

65 bring the light of the Shining One
66 in the underworld and on the Island of the Two Souls.
67 Write this there. Settle those who are in it,
68 whom we created, who started
69 a rebellion as the Akeriu, the earth gods,
70 the followers of the one called Discontented Heart.
71 You are in my place as my deputy. People will call you Thoth, Re's deputy. I will send out those greater than you through you.” This is how Thoth's hbj ibis came into being. “I will also
72 have you stretch out your hand before the first gods, who are greater than you. My affairs go well when you do this.” This is how Thoth's tkhny ibis came into being. “I will also have you surround
73 the two skies with your beauty and your light.” This is how Thoth's moon came into being. “I will also have you drive back the island people.” This is how Thoth's baboon came into being. “You have become
74 a vizier, and you will also be my deputy. All who see you have their eyes opened by you. Everything I created thanks you.” A man must recite this speech over himself
75 after rubbing himself with moringa oil and ointment. He should have an incense burner with incense on his arms.
76 The backs of his two ears must be clean. He should have natron in his mouth and wear two pieces of
77 new linen. He must wash himself with water from the Nile flood and wear sandals of
78 white leather. What should be spoken for him must be written with the scribe's red ink. If Thoth wants to recite it
79 to Re, he must purify himself for 9 days. Human servants must do the same.
80 Whoever recites it, if he performs the rite written in this scroll,
81 will spend his lifetime amid […] increase. His two eyes will serve him,
82 as will all his limbs. His affairs will not fail. People will say of him, “He is like
83 Re on the day he was born.” His possessions will not diminish, and his entrance will not be damaged.
84 This is something truly excellent, tested a million times. The great god himself embraced Nun and said to the gods who came out of the eastern sky, “Praise the eldest god from whom I came into being.
85 I made the sky and keep [it] in place [to put the gods' souls in it]. I will be with them forever, for as long as years are born. Magic is my soul, and it is older than the years. Khnum is Shu's soul. The soul
86 of eternity is Rain. The soul of darkness [is] Night. Re is Nun's soul. The ram of Djedet is Osiris's soul. Crocodiles are Sobek's souls, and the soul
87 of every god is in snakes. The white of the eye is Apophis's soul. Re's soul is throughout the whole land.” A man protecting himself with magic must say, “I am that
88 pure magician, in Re's mouth and body. Gods, keep away from me. I am Re, the Shining One.” As you pass in the evening's last sunlight, say, “Fall on your face, enemy of Re!
89 I am his soul, the magician. O lord of eternity, who created endless time and makes the gods' years pass, into whom Re descends, lord of his god, ruler who created him, whom the ancestral gods love,
90 magician with a clean head: make a woman's figure standing on your southern side. Make a goddess on it, in its middle, and a snake standing on its tail. Her hand must rest on its body and its tail on the ground.
91 Thoth gives him praise and heavenly rank, and Shu places his two arms toward him. May I be saved by those two great gods living in the eastern sky,
92 who guard the sky and the earth and whose secrets last.” They must say, “How great he is as he comes out to see Nun!” A purified priest must recite this at the Abed festival and at the […] festival of the 15th day,
93 according to this ancient instruction. Whoever recites this spell will live in the realm of the dead. People on earth will respect him more than they respect others. If they ask, “What are your names?” he must reply, “Eternity and Everlasting Time.” Then they will say, “[He truly is a god],”
94 and they will say, “He reached us here on the road.” I know the soul of this god, whose face is Harsaphes. I am the one for whom [an amulet is tied] [in the evening]. [I am Re]
95 in [his] group of nine gods, and his attendants are magicians. [I pass on safely.] [The flame belongs to me.] [It is the] soul [of fire]. There are no enemies [among …]. […] Beauty. […] The Heh gods [before the chest]. […] The Heh gods [behind the back]. […] Duamutef. […] Atum. […] Support of the sky. […] My son is with [me]. […] You will not grow tired. […] My body will not grow tired. […] Shu. […] Your condition is like someone who lives forever. […] May life, prosperity, and health be at this nose of yours! I am your son. […] The one belonging to his departure. Sealed after the departure. […] The departure from there and his entry are sung. Oh, hey, oh! Praise is given. […] I know the names of these two gods: [Eternity] and [Everlasting Time]. […] Osiris, King Menmaatre, justified before Osiris. […] Osiris Menmaatre, justified. […] Son of Re, [Seti, beloved of Ptah].
