If a man speaks this spell when he is in a state of purity, it means going forth after death into the day and assuming whatever shape he desires. As for anyone who shall read it daily for his own benefit, it means being hale on earth; he shall come forth from every fire and nothing evil shall reach him. It is a matter a million times true; I have seen and it has indeed come to pass through me.

Now come into being all the words of the Lord of All: I was Atum when I was alone in the Abyss; I was Re in his glorious appearings when he began to rule what he had made.

What does it mean? It means Re when he began to rule what he had made, when he began to appear as king, before the Supports of Shu had come into being, when he was upon the hill which is in Hermopolis, when he destroyed the Children of Impotence on the hill which is in Hermopolis.

I am the Great God, the self-created.

Who is it? The Great God, the self-created, is water, he is Nun, father of the gods. Otherwise said: He 1s Re. He who created his names, Lord of the Ennead. Who is he? It is Re who created his names and his members, it means the coming into existence of those gods who are in his suite.

I am he who is not opposed among the gods.

Who is he? He is Atum who is in his sun-disc. Otherwise said: He is Re when he rises in the eastern horizon of the sky.

To me belongs yesterday, I know tomorrow.

What does it mean? As for yesterday, that is Osiris. As for tomorrow, that is Re on that day in which the foes of the Lord of All were destroyed and his son Horus was made to rule.

Otherwise said: That is the day of the ‘We-remain’ festival, when the burial of Osiris was ordered by his father Re.

The battle-ground of the gods was made in accordance with my command.

What does it mean? It is the West. It was made for the souls of the gods in accordance with the command of Osiris, Lord of the Western Desert. Otherwise said: It means that this is the West, to which Re made every god descend, and he fought the Two for it.

I know that Great God who is in it.

Who is he? He is Osiris. Otherwise said: His name is Re, his name is Praise-of-Re, he is the soul of Re, with whom he himself copulated.

I am that great phoenix which is in Heliopolis, the supervisor of what exists.
