May she make thee pure with pure fire,
With the glorious pure fountain of the abyss purify thou thy pathway,
By the incantation of Merodach, king of the universe of heaven and earth,
May the abundance of the land enter into thy midst,
May thy command be fulfilled for ever.
O Ê-zida, seat supreme, the beloved of Anu and Ištar art thou,
Mayest thou shine like heaven; mayest thou be glorious like the earth; mayest thou shine like the midst of heaven;
May the malevolent curse dwell outside of thee.
Incantation making (the purification of the temple).
Incantation: The star ... the long chariot of the heavens.”
