The Chapter of Breathing the Air and of
Having Power Over Water in Khert-Neter
The Osiris Ani saith: Open to me!
Who art thou? Whither goest thou? What is thy name?
I am one of you.
Who are these with you?
The two Merti goddesses (Isis and Nephthys). Thou
separatest head from head when [he] entereth the divine
Mesqen chamber. He causeth me to set out for the temple
of the gods Kem-heru.
"Assembler of souls" is
the name of my ferry-boat. "Those who make the hair
to bristle" is the name of the oars.
"Sert" ("Goad") is the name of the
hold. "Steering straight in the middle" is the
name of the rudder; likewise, [the boat] is a type of my
being borne onward in the lake. Let there be given unto
me vessels of milk, and cakes, and loaves of bread, and
cups of drink, and flesh, in the Temple of Anpu.
If the
deceased knoweth this Chapter, he shall go into [the
Beautiful Amentet], after coming forth from Khert-Neter.
