Of Lifting Up The Feet
[From the Papyrus of Nu (British Museum No. 10,477, sheet 6).]
THE CHAPTER OF LIFTING UP THE FEET AND OF COMING FORTH UPON THE EARTH. The
chancellor-in-chief, Nu, triumphant, saith:
“Perform thy work, O Seker, perform thy work, O Seker, O thou [who
dwellest in thy house], and who [standest] on [thy] feet in the
underworld! I am the god who sendeth forth rays of light over the Thigh of
heaven, and I come forth to heaven and I sit myself down by the God of
Light (_Khu_). Hail, I have become helpless! Hail, I have become helpless!
but I go forward. I have become helpless, I have become helpless in the
regions of those who plunder in the underworld.”
