6.1 Then she said to him, “I will give you the golden seal that is on my hand.” He said to her, “Give me the golden seal!” And she gave it
6.2 to him. Then he ferried her to the island in the middle. As she walked beneath the trees, she looked about and saw
6.3 the Ennead seated at a meal before the Lord of All in his pavilion. Then Seth looked up
6.4 and saw her coming from afar. She worked her magic and transformed her appearance
6.5 into a girl beautiful in body, with no equal in all the land. Then he desired her exceedingly,
6.6 exceedingly. Seth rose from the meal where he sat with the Great Ennead, and went to meet her,
6.7 though no one but he had seen her. He stood behind a sycamore and called out to her, saying, “I am
6.8 here beside you, beautiful girl!” She said to him, “Consider, my exalted lord: I was the wife of a cattle herdsman, and I
6.9 bore him a son. Then my husband died, and the boy began tending his father's herds.
6.10 When a stranger arrived, he seated himself in my cattle pen. He spoke to my son as follows:
6.11 ‘I will beat you, take away your father's herds, and cast you out.’ So he said to him. Therefore I wish to make
6.12 you his champion.” Then Seth said to her, “Should the herds be given to a stranger while the son
6.13 of the man stands here?” Then Isis took the form of a kite, flew up, and settled on
6.14 the crown of an acacia tree. She called to Seth and said, “Shame on you! Your own mouth has spoken it! Your own discerning

6.1 Then she said to him, “I'll give you the gold seal ring on my hand.” He said to her, “Give me the gold seal ring.” And she gave it to him.
6.2 Then he ferried her to the island in the middle. As she walked among the trees, she looked around. She saw
6.3 the council of nine gods sitting and eating in the presence of the Lord of All, in his pavilion. Then Seth looked up.
6.4 He saw her coming from far away. She used her magic and changed her appearance
6.5 into that of a girl with a beautiful body. There was no one like her in the whole land. Seth wanted her very badly.
6.6 Seth got up from where he was sitting and eating with the great council of nine gods. He went to intercept her,
6.7 though no one else had seen her. He stood behind a sycamore tree, called to her, and said, “I'm here with you,
6.8 beautiful girl.” She said to him, “Think about this, my great lord. I was married to a cattle herder, and
6.9 I gave birth to his son. My husband died, and the boy began to look after his father's herds.
6.10 Then a stranger came and sat down in my cattle pen. He said this to my son:
6.11 ‘I will beat you, take away your father's herds, and throw you out.’ That's what he said to him. So I want you to
6.12 stand up for my son.” Seth said to her, “Should the herds be given to the stranger while the man's son
6.13 is standing right there?” Then Isis changed into a kite. She flew up and landed on
6.14 the top of an acacia tree. She called to Seth and said, “You should be ashamed! Your own mouth said it. Your own good judgment
