The Seven
Arits
If [these] words be recited by the spirit when he shall come to the
Seven Arits, and as he entereth the doors, he shall neither be turned
back nor repulsed before Osiris, and he shall be made to have his being
among the blessed spirits, and to have dominion among the ancestral
followers of Osiris. If these things be done for any spirit he shall
have his being in that place like a lord of eternity in one body with
Osiris, and at no place shall any being contend against him.
The Fourth Arit.
The name of the Doorkeeper is Khesef-her-asht-kheru. The name of the
Watcher is Seres-tepu. The name of the Herald is Khesef-at.
The Osiris the scribe Ani, whose word is truth, shall
say [when he cometh to this Arit]: "I am the Bull, the son of the
ancestress of Osiris. O grant ye that his father, the Lord of his god-like
companions, may bear witness on his behalf. I have weighed the guilty
in judgment. I have brought unto his nostrils the life which is ever
lasting. I am the son of Osiris, I have accomplished the journey, I
have advanced in Khert-Neter."
