The Chapter of Coming Forth by Day
and of Living After Death
The Osiris Ani saith: Hail, thou
One, who shinest from the moon. Hail, thou One, who
shinest from the moon. Grant that this Osiris Ani may
come forth among thy multitudes who are at the portal.
Let him be with the Light-God. Let the Tuat be opened to
him. Behold, the Osiris Ani shall come forth by day to
perform everything which he wisheth upon the earth among
those who are living [thereon].
From the
Papyrus of Nu, Sheet 13:
Hail, thou god Tem, who comest forth from the Great Deep,
who shinest gloriously under the form of the twin
Lion-gods, send forth with might thy words unto those who
are in thy presence, and let the Osiris Nu enter into
their assembly. He hath performed the decree which hath
been spoken to the mariners at eventide, and the Osiris
Nu, whose word is truth, shall live after his death, even
as doth Ra every day. Behold, most certainly Ra was born
yesterday, and the Osiris Nu was born yesterday. And
every god shall rejoice in the life of the Osiris Nu,
even as they rejoice in the life of Ptah, when he
appeareth from the Great House of the Aged One which is
in Anu.
