A divine Domain(5) hath beenconstructedfor me ; I know the

Notes.Anotherrecension of this chapterhas been incorporated into
chapter149. Thedifferences lie chiefly in the order assigned to
eachof the component sentences.- Favouring gales Vvl|\ Yitt "sailing breezes"
correspond to phrases like "tfievoi oi'poi,ventisecundi,tradewinds,
tail wind, sternwind. Thereis not the faintest authorityfrom the
olderpapyri(whichare very numerous,and remarkablyunanimous
on this point) in favour of the determinative /yv], of the Turin
Todtenbuch,whichgivesthe sense of violent or tempestuous winds.- Every gate. " Ra at his rising is adored by the Powers of the
" East. Theyit is who effectthe rising of Ra, by opening the door
" at each of the four portalsof the Eastern horizonof heaven."
(Inscr. in tomb of Rameses VI, Champollion, Notices,Tom.II, p.
640). - The Calfin presence of the god. The Calfis seen in the
vignettes of this chapterand also of chapter 1. Brugsch (Rev.
Egypt, Ii P- 38) quotes texts showing that the Milch-cow
\SsSv X Ks^ ^Vh3 Hor-sechauit,is the mother of the Sun-god,
andthatthe infant godis the calf to whom she gives birth. The
words " in presence of the god " are probablycorrupt, but the
variants are apparently worse. The Morning Star was equally
identifiedwithHorus.
