Maat, then, is the order established by the Creator, and king and community are called upon by the sacred texts to preserve it, restore and enrich it. This is the call for and establishment of a Maatian or moral culture in which Maatian thought and practice take root and thrive. The king was morally compelled to drive out isfet, Maat’s opposite, and establish Maat in its proper place so that one may say “the land is as it was at the first time”. For as Frankfort notes, “the order established at the beginning of the world was considered to be normative for all times.” This meant that Ra as creator and king of the world and the pharaoh was in his likeness, i.e., creator, king, law-giver, etc.

Thus, it was said of Ramesses II in the 19th Dynasty, “You are the living likeness of your father Atum … for Authoritative Utterance is in your mouth, Understanding is in your heart and your speech is the shrine of Truth (Maat)”. Again, at the coronation, Queen Hatshepsut in the 18th Dynasty is acknowledged and welcomed by the powers of heaven with the words, “Welcome, O daughter (of Amen-Ra). Behold your law and order in the land. You establish it, you set right that which is wrong in it. They conclude saying “we acknowledge the descent of him (Amen-Ra) who created us”. In Maatian ethics, divine kingship is both an obligation and right to rule. The obligation is to rule in righteousness and the right is derivative from and based on the successful execution of the obligation. This is also the concept of imitatio dei, or as in the ancient Egyptian, ἰrt mἰ R̔, which means “acting like Ra” or emulation of God through righteousness.

In the text, Khunanup delineates five criteria for a just leader and thereby gives us an important insight into the Maatian concept of social justice. He defines the Maatian leader as: 1) one “without greed;” 2) one “without baseness;” 3) “a destroyer of falsehood;” 4) “a creator of righteousness;” and 5) “one who comes at the voice of the caller”. The meaning of the second and third criterion is worthy of note for it moves beyond internal righteousness to suggest a need not simply not to lie oneself, but to destroy falsehood in society; not simply to destroy evil (ἰsfet, gereg), but also to create rightness (Maat) and by extension to create the conditions for its coming into being. Again, we see the essentiality of self-conscious practice to create the just and good society.

Finally, the fourth criterion is from the ethic of care and responsibility which is based on imitatio dei in his justice or imitation dei — acting like Ra. For it is Ra who is “prime minister of the poor,” who listens and “hears the prayers of one who calls on him,” who “comes at the call of the humble and needy.” Truly “Amen Ra is He who knows compassion and hearkens to those who call him,” and he “rescues the oppressed from the oppressor”. Thus, the just leader is morally compelled to imitate divine activity, which in turn is reflective of divine character, compassion, empathetic understanding and loving kindness which translates as assisting, strengthening and delivering the poor and vulnerable.

THE FOUR GOOD DEEDS OF THE CREATOR

These are words spoken by Him-Whose-Names-Are-Hidden, the Lord of All, as He speaks before those who silence the storm during the sailing of the company of Ra:

Hail and Peace! I repeat to you the Four Good Deeds which my own heart and mind did for me in the midst of the serpent coil of evil, in order to silence the turmoil. I did Four Good Deeds on the threshold of the horizon.

I created the four winds so that every person might breathe in his or her time and place. This is one of the deeds.

I created the great flood for irrigation so that the humble might benefit from it like the great. This too, is one of the deeds.

I made every person like his and her fellow; and I did not command them to do evil. It was in their own hearts and minds which caused them to disobey that which I commanded. This too is one of the deeds.

I made the hearts of men and women so that they would not forget the day of death, so that sacred offerings might be made to the divine powers of the districts. And this too is one of the deeds.

Thus, I have created the divine powers from my sweat and humankind from the tears of my eye.
