_Another chapter recited when the Moon renews itself on the first day of
the month._
Osiris is enveloped in storm and rain: he is enveloped: but the fair
Horus lendeth succour daily, the Lord of high attributes . . . (1.) he
driveth off the storm from the face of the Osiris _N_.
Behold him coming: he is Rā on his journey: he is the four gods who are
over the upper region.
The Osiris _N_ arriveth at his own time: and by means of his lines is
brought to the light of day.
_If this chapter be known he becometh a Chu of Might in the Netherworld;
he dieth not a second time, in the Netherworld; but he eateth by the
side of Osiris._
_If it be known upon earth he will become like Thoth, so as to be
worshipped by the living: he will not fall a victim to a king’s
wrath(2.) or to the fierce heat of Basit, but will be made to advance to
a most blissful old age._
