“I am the God Atum, I who alone was.
I am the God Rê at his first splendor.
I am the great God, self-created, God of Gods,
To whom no other God compares.”
“I was yesterday and know to-morrow; the battle-ground of Gods was made when I spoke. I know the name of that great God who tarries therein.
“I am that great Phoenix who is in Heliopolis, who there keeps account of all there is, of all that exists.
“I am the God Min, at his coming forth, who placed the feathers upon my head.[[125]]
“I am in my country, I come into my city. Daily I am together with my father Atum.[[126]]
“My impurity is driven away, and the sin which was in me is overcome. I washed myself in those two great pools of water which are in Heracleopolis, in which is purified the sacrifice of mankind for that great God who abideth there.
“I go on my way to where I wash my head in the sea of the righteous. I arrive at this land of the glorified, and enter through the splendid portal.
