The Egyptian Book of the Dead
Chapter whereby the Heart is given to a person in the Netherworld.
26.1He saith: Heart mine to me, in the place of Hearts! Whole Heart mine to me, in the place of Whole Hearts!
26.2Let me have my Heart that it may rest within me; but I shall feed upon the food of Osiris, on the eastern side of the mead of amaranthine flowers.
26.3Be mine a bark for descending the stream and another for ascending.
26.4I go down into the bark wherein thou art.
26.5Be there given to me my mouth wherewith to speak, and my feet for walking; and let me have my arms wherewith to overthrow my adversaries.
26.6Let two hands from the Earth open my mouth: Let Seb, the Erpā of the gods, part my two jaws; let him open my two eyes which are closed, and give motion to my two hands which are powerless: and let Anubis give vigour to my legs, that I may raise myself up upon them.
26.7And may Sechit the divine one lift me up, so that I may arise in Heaven and issue my behest in Memphis.
26.8I am in possession of my Heart, I am possession of my Whole Heart, I am possession of my arms and I have possession of my legs.
