OF COMING FORTH FROM RE-STAU

[From the Papyrus of Nu (British Museum No. 10,477, sheet 9).]

The Chapter of coming forth from Re-stau. The chancellor-in-chief, Nu, triumphant, saith:

“I was born in Re-stau, and splendor hath been given unto me by those who dwell in their spiritual bodies (sāhu) in the habitation where libations are made unto Osiris. The divine ministers who are in Re-stau shall receive [me] when Osiris is led into the twofold funeral regon of Osiris; oh, let me be a divine being whom they shall lead into the twofold funeral region of Osiris.
