The Chapter of Giving Air in Kert-Neter
The Osiris Ani saith: I am the
Egg which dwelt in the Great Cackler. I keep ward over
that great place which Keb hath proclaimed upon earth. I
live; it liveth. I grow up, I live, I snuff the air. I am
Utcha-aab. I go round about his egg [to protect it]. I
have thwarted the moment of Set. Hail, Sweet one of the
Two Lands! Hail, dweller in the tchefa food! Hail,
dweller in the lapis-lazuli! Watch ye over him that is in
his cradle, the Babe when he cometh forth to you.
From the
Papyrus of Nu, Sheet 12:
He saith: Hail, thou God Temu, grant thou unto me the
sweet breath which dwelleth in thy nostrils! I am the Egg
which is in Kenken-ur (the Great Cackler), and I watch
and guard that mighty thing which hath come into being,
wherewith the god Keb hath opened the earth. I live; it
liveth; I grow, I live, I snuff the air. I am the god
Utcha-aabet, and I go about his egg. I shine at the
moment of the mighty of strength, Suti. Hail, thou who
makest sweet the time of the Two Lands! Hail, dweller
among the celestial food. Hail, dweller among the beings
of blue (lapis-lazuli), watch ye to protect him that is
in his nest, the Child who cometh forth to you.
