_Chapter whereby one cometh forth by day._
I know that I have been conceived by Sechit and that I am born of Neith.
I am Horus, who proceedeth from the Eye of Horus; I am Uat’it, and I
come forth like the Hawk which soareth aloft and resteth upon the brow
of Rā at the prow of his Bark in Heaven.

CHAPTER LXVII.
_Chapter whereby the doors of the Tuat are opened and one cometh forth
by day._
Let the doors be opened of the caverns of Nu, and let the feet be
loosened of those who are in glory.
Let the caverns of Shu be opened, that he may come forth at large, and
that I may issue from my funereal pit to my seat which is at the prow of
the Bark of Rā; let me issue without disaster to my seat which is at the
prow of the Bark of Rā, the all-radiant one, as he riseth up from his
lair.

CHAPTER LXVIII.
_Chapter whereby one cometh forth by day._
Let the two doors of Heaven be opened to me: let the two doors of Earth
be opened to me: let the bolts of Seb open to me, and let the First
Mansion be opened to me, that he may behold me who hath kept guard over
me: and let him unloose me who hath wound his arms around me and hath
fastened his arms upon me into the earth.
Let the Re-hunit(1.) be opened to me, let me pass into the Re-hunit; let
the Re-hunit be given to me, that I may come forth by day whithersoever
my heart desireth.
Let me have possession of my heart, let me have possession of my Whole
heart; let me have possession of my mouth, let me have possession of my
legs, let me have possession of my arms, let me have possession of my
limbs absolutely; let me have possession of my funereal meals, let me
have possession of air, let me have possession of water, let me have
possession of the stream, let me have possession of the river, let me
have possession of the banks.
Let me have possession of all things soever which were ritually offered
for me in the Netherworld. Let me have possession of the table which was
made for me upon earth—the solicitations(2.) which were uttered for me
“that he may feed upon the bread of Seb.”
That which I execrate, I eat it not. Let me feed upon the bread of the
red corn of the Nile in a pure place, let me sip beer of the red corn of
the Nile in a pure place; let me sit under the branches of the palm
trees [in Heliopolis] in the train of Hathor, when the solar orb
broadeneth(3.), as she proceedeth to Heliopolis with the writings of the
divine words of the Book of Thoth.
