CHAPTER XCI. - The Egyptian Book of the dead

_Chapter whereby the Soul is secured from imprisonment in the

Netherworld._

Oh thou who art exalted and worshipped, all powerful, almighty one, who

grantest thy terrors to the gods, who displayest thyself upon thy throne

of grandeur,(1.) let the way be made for my Soul, my Chu and my Shade.

Let me be thoroughly equipped.

I am a powerful Soul; let the way be made for me to the place where Rā

is and Hathor.

_If this Chapter is known, he taketh the form of a fully equipped Chu in

the Netherworld, and does not suffer imprisonment at any door in the

Amenta, either in coming in or going out._

NOTE.

1. There is no safe text here, ‘grandeur’ is only meant to indicate the

existence of ⁂ in the original. But there certainly ought to be

something different from what any of the MSS. supply.
