The Chapter Of Giving A Mouth To Osiris Ani
[From the Papyrus of Ani (British Museum No. 10,470, sheet 6).]
THE CHAPTER OF GIVING A MOUTH TO OSIRIS ANI, THE SCRIBE AND TELLER OF THE
HOLY OFFERINGS OF ALL THE GODS, TRIUMPHANT, IN THE UNDERWORLD. He saith:
“I rise out of the egg in the hidden land. May my mouth be given unto me
that I may speak therewith in the presence of the great god, the lord of
the Tuat (underworld). May my hand and my arm not be forced back in the
presence of the sovereign princes of any god. I am Osiris, the lord of
Re-stau; may I, Osiris the scribe Ani, triumphant, have a portion with him
who is on the top of the steps (_i.e._, Osiris). According to the desire
of my heart, I have come from the Pool of Fire, and I have quenched the
fire.”
