[FN#107] Northern Nubia; the name means "Land of the Bow." [FN#108] A portion of Northern Nubia. And Heru-Behut changed his form into that of the Winged Disk, [and took his place] above the bow of the Boat of Ra. And he made the goddess Nekhebit[FN#109] and the goddess Uatchit[FN#110] to be with him in the form of serpents, so that they might make the Sebau fiends to quake in [all] their limbs (or, bodies). Their boldness (i.e., that of the fiends) subsided through the fear of him, they made no resistance whatsoever, and they died straightway. [FN#109] The goddess of the South. [FN#110] The goddess of the North. Then the gods who were in the following of the Boat of Heru-khuti said, "Great, great is that which he hath done among them by means of the two Serpent Goddesses,[FN#111] for he hath overthrown the enemy by means of their fear of him." |
