Behold I have come, I sit in the boat of Rā, I sail on the lake of Cha([17]) and on the lake of the Northern sky.
I hear the words of the gods. I do what they are doing, I give praises to their persons, I live as they live.
N. appears on the ladder which was made for him by his father Rā, when Horus and Sut take hold of him.
Notes.
In the Theban version the Chapter of the Net is divided into two, 153A and 153B, which have different titles and different vignettes. 153A is called the “Chapter of coming out,” or, as might be translated, “of escaping from the net.” The vignettes represent a clap-net, used for waterfowl. The second Chapter is called “the Chapter of escaping from those who catch
,” which, from the etymology, might be translated foul or fetid fish. There the vignette represents a drag-net containing fishes, and drawn by apes.
