33 “[…] have rebelled against you. Come to us, and we shall strike down your enemies, who plot against the one who made them!” But his majesty went toward his palace […] of the cow,
34 without going with them. The land was dark. As soon as the earth grew bright at dawn, the people came out bearing bows and clubs […].
35 They raised their arms to shoot at the enemies. The majesty of this god said, “Your evil be upon your own heads, you slaughterers!
36 The very thought of slaughter was far away at the beginning.” Thus slaughter came into being among the people. This god said to Nut, “I have set myself upon your back, to rise above the earth.”
37 “What does this mean?” asked Nut, as she became the dwellers of the heavens. The majesty of this god said, “Be far from them. Come close to me. Look at me!”
38 Thus she became the sky. The majesty of this god looked into her. She said, “If only you would fill me with a multitude!”
39 Thus […] came into being. His majesty—life, prosperity, health—said, “Let the field here be peaceful.” Thus the Field of Offerings came into being. “Yes, I shall make plants grow in it!”
40 Thus the Field of Reeds came into being. “I shall furnish them with every kind of thing.” Thus came into being the constellations and stars. Nut trembled at the height.
41 The majesty of Re said, “If only I had millions to support her!” Thus came into being the Heh gods. The majesty of Re said,
42 “My son Shu, take your place beneath my granddaughter Nut. Guard for me the Heh gods there, that they may live in the darkness. Set her above your head and sustain her.”
43 Thus arose the custom of giving a nurse to son and daughter, and of a father lifting his son above his head.
44 This spell is to be spoken over the image of a cow, with Heh gods before her breast and Heh gods at her back.
45 One cubit and four of its handbreadths are in pigment. The ennead of stars is upon her body, emerging from her hindquarters before her hind legs. Shu stands beneath her body.
46 He is to be made of orpiment. His two arms bear the stars, and his name is to be placed among them, naming him Shu himself.
47 A boat is before Shu, beside his hand: in it are a steering oar and a shrine, above it a sun disk, and Re is within it. Another representation is behind Shu beside his other hand.
48 Her udder is to be drawn between her eastern legs; half of it is drawn at the center of one leg, with this inscription outside:
49 “I am who I am. I shall not permit anything to be done.” These words descend. Beneath the boat at the front are the words “You will not grow weary,
50 my son.” These words descend. Also written are “Your condition is like that of one who lives forever.” And there: “I am your son. Life, prosperity, and health be at this nose of yours!”
51 Behind Shu beside his arm are the words “Protect her!” Behind him, at his groin, in descending order, are the words
52 “Their entrance is sound, while I withdraw each day.” Beneath the arm of the figure behind her left leg are the words
53 “Let all things be sealed.” Over his head, under the cow’s hindquarters, within her two legs, are the words
54 “The one who belongs to his going forth.” Behind the two figures standing between her legs, above their heads, are the words “Old one in the realm of the dead, rejoicing is raised when he enters.”
55 Above the heads of the two figures between her forelegs are the words “Duamutef, Atum, support of the sky.”
56 The majesty of this god said to Thoth, “Summon the majesty of Geb to me. Say, ‘Come, hurry here at once!’” The majesty of Geb came, and the majesty of this god said, “Beware your serpents within you.
57 They feared me when I was there, and you know their power. Go swiftly to the place where my father Nun is. Tell him to guard
58 those on land and in the water. And make a written decree for every mound, addressed to your serpents there: ‘Guard yourselves against playing any tricks!’ They must know that I am here.
59 See, I rise for them […]. As for their provision, it shall endure forever in this land. Beware, too, of those magicians who know their spells.
60 See, the god Magic himself is there. As for the one who has taken him into himself—see, it is I. I shall not be protected against hardship; it happened before me.
61 I entrust them to your son Osiris, who guards their young and makes their elders forget their intentions there. May they, who act upon the whole earth as they wish, become beneficial through the spells in their bodies!”
62 The majesty of this god said, “Summon Thoth to me!” He was brought at once. The majesty of this god said to Thoth,
63 “See, I am here in heaven,
64 in my place, for I shall

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
