then said, "Thou hast received thy head, and thy bones have been brought
unto thee before Keb."[4] During the performance of the next five
ceremonies, in which incense of various kinds was offered, the priest
said: "Thou art pure (four times). That which is in the two eyes of
Horus hath been presented unto thee with the two vases of Thoth, and
they purify thee so that there may not exist in thee the power of
destruction that belongeth unto thee. Thou art pure. Thou art pure. Pure
is the _seman_ incense that openeth thy mouth. Taste the taste thereof
in the divine dwelling. _Seman_ incense is the emission of Horus; it
stablisheth the heart of Horus-Set, it purifieth the gods who are in the
following of Horus. Thou art censed with natron. Thou art established
among the gods thy brethren. Thy mouth is like that of a sucking calf on
the day of its birth. Thou art censed. Thou art censed. Thou art pure.
Thou art pure. Thou art established among thy brethren the gods. Thy
head is censed. Thy mouth is censed. Thy bones are purified. [Decay]
that is inherent in thee shall not touch thee. I have given thee the Eye
of Horus,[5] and thy face is filled therewith. Thou art shrouded in
incense (say twice)."[6]
