Spell for Assembling a Bier

O N, I have given you your flesh, I have gathered you bones together for you, I have collected your members for you, I have thrown off for you the earth which was on your flesh, for you are Horus within the Egg. Raise yourself that you may see the gods, extend you arm towards the horizon, to the pure place where you desire to be. May men serve you there, may acclamation be made for you, with what is issued from the altar. Horus will raise you up at his appearings, just as he did for Him who was in the Pure Place.

O N, Anubis who is on his mountain will raise you up and will make your bandages strong.

O N, Ptah-Sokar will give you an arm with its temple adornments.

O N, Thoth himself will come to you with the book of the sacred words, and he will set your hand on the horizon, at the place which your ka desires; he it was who helped you, O Osiris, on that night of death. May your White Crown be firm on your brow, for Shesmu is with you, and he will present you with the choicest of fowl.

O N, raise yourself on your bier that you may go forth. Re will raise you up in the horizon, to the bank of rowers which is in his Bark.

O N, how happy a thing it is that you should cross in peace to your house for eternity, your tomb for everlasting! May you be greeted in Pe and Dep in the shrine which your ka desires, for your place is pre-eminent and your power is great. The great bier will raise you up to the Wild Bull whome the gods embrace, for you are a god who begot those who exist, whose shape is better than those of the gods. Your brilliance is greater than that of the spirits, your power is mightier than that of those who are yonder.

O N, Ptah South-of-his-Wall will raise you up and will advance your position above that of the gods.

O N, you are Horus, son of Isis, whom Ptah begot, whom Nun created; may you shine like Re in the horizon when he illumines the Two Lands with his beauty. The gods say to you: 'Welcome! Cross over that you may see your possessions in your house for eternity.' Renenutet will raise you up, even she whom Atum impregnated in the presence of the Ennead.

O Nut, I am the heir of the sky, the companion of Him who created his light; I went forth from the womb when I was orphaned of my father without having the wisdom to answer for my deeds.
