Chapter XXVIII

_Chapter whereby the Heart of a person is not taken from him in
the Netherworld._

O Lion-God!

I am Unbu[E] and what I abominate is the block of execution.

Let not this Whole Heart of mine be torn from me by the Divine
Champions[F] in Heliopolis.

O thou who clothest Osiris and hast seen Sutu.

O thou who turnest back after having smitten him, and hast
accomplished the overthrow.

This Whole Heart of mine remaineth weeping over itself in (the)
presence of Osiris.

Its strength proceedeth from him, it hath obtained it by prayer
from him.

I have had granted to it and awarded to it, the glow of heart at
the hour of the god of the Broad Face, and have offered the
sacrificial cakes in Hermopolis.

Let not this Whole Heart of mine be torn from me.[G] It is I who
entrust to you its place, and vehemently stir your Whole Heart
towards it in Sechit-hotepit and the years of triumph over all
that it abhors, and taking all provisions at thine appointed
time from thine hand after thee.

And this Whole Heart of mine is laid upon the tablets of Tmu,
who guideth me to the caverns of Sutu and who giveth me back my
Whole Heart which hath accomplished its desire in (the) presence
of the Divine Circle which is in the Netherworld.

The sacrificial joint and the funereal raiment, let those who
find them bury them.

CHAPTER XXIXA.

_Chapter whereby the Heart of a person may not be taken from him
in the Netherworld._

Back thou Messenger[H] of thy god! Art thou come to carry off by
violence this Whole Heart of mine, of the Living.[I] The gods
have regard to my offerings and fall upon their faces, all
together, upon their own earth.[J]

Certain chapters referring to the Heart were incised upon hard
precious stones,[K] and used as amulets and talisman. The XXVIth
upon Lapis-lazuli, the XXVIIth on green Felspar, the XXXth on
Serpentine. The following was usually incised on Carnelian.

CHAPTER XXIXB.

_Chapter of the Heart; upon Carnelian._

I am the Heron, the Soul of Ra, who conducts the Glorious ones
to the Tuat.

It is granted to their Souls (_Baiu?_) to come forth upon the
Earth, to do whatsoever their Genius (_Ka?_) willeth.

It is granted to the Soul (_Ba?_) of the Osiris (the name of the
deceased was inserted here) to come forth upon the Earth to do
whatsoever his Genius (_Ka?_) willeth.

CHAPTER XXXA.

_Chapter whereby the Heart of a person is not kept back from him
in the Netherworld._

Heart mine which is that of my Mother, Whole Heart mine which
was that of my coming upon Earth,

Let there be no estoppel against me through evidence; let not
hindrance be made to me by the Divine Circle; let there not be a
fall of the Scale[L] against me in (the) presence of the great
god, Lord of Amenta.

Hail, to thee, Heart mine; Hail to thee, Whole Heart mine, Hail
to thee, Liver mine!

Hail to you, ye gods who are on the side lock, conspicuous by
your sceptres, announce my glory to Ra and convey it to
Nehabkau.

[And lo, though he be buried in the deep deep Grave, and bowed
down to the region of annihilation, he is glorified there.]

CHAPTER XXXB.

Heart mine which is that of my Mother, Whole Heart mine which is
that of my birth,

Let there be no estoppel against me through evidence, let no
hindrance be made to me by the Divine Circle; fall thou not
against me in (the) presence of him who is at the Balance.

Thou art my Genius (_Ka?_) who art by me, the Artist who givest
soundness to my limbs.

Come forth to the bliss towards which we are bound;

Let not those Ministrants[M] who deal with a man according to
the course of his life give a bad odour to my Name.

Pleasant for us, pleasant for the listener, is the joy of the
Weighing of the Words.

Let not lies be uttered in the presence of the great god
(Osiris?) Lord of Amenta.

Lo! how great art thou [as the Triumphant one.]

This chapter is found upon numerous papyri and scarabs. The differences in the texts are many, the principal may be considered as in the 30A and 30B, of Naville's Text.

The oldest copy we have on a scarab, is on that of king Sebak-em-saf of the XIIIth Dynasty. In the British Museum, No. 7876. Dr. Samuel Birch has described it[N] in his study on the "Formulas relating to the Heart." He says: "This amulet is of unusual shape; the body of the insect is made of a remarkably fine green jasper carved into the shape of the body and head of the insect. This is inserted into a base of gold in the shape of a tablet. * * * The legs of the insect are * * * of gold and carved in relief * * * The hieroglyphs are incised in outline, are coarse, and not very legible."[O]

[C] The Egyptian texts have two names for the Heart. One _ab_, the other, _hatu_. _Ab_ used as connected with lively motion. The word _hatu_ seems to include not only the heart properly to say, but also the lungs, and by it the heart was likely considered also in connection with the larynx and the respiratory organs of man. Mr. Renouf uses in his translation, for the latter, the expression; Whole Heart.

[E] One of the names of the solar god.

[F] Likely the Forty-two Judges of the Psychostasia. Myer.

[G] M. Pierret stops his translation of this chapter here, saying: The end of this chapter is absolutely unintelligible; the variants of the hieratic manuscripts do not make it clear.
