1 Come forth from the Water and bear up this God
2 Like as Atum raised himself upon the Ka of Nu
3 By the grace of Ma’at, giving Order to Chaos,
4 Being as he was directed by Djhwty to born
5 The 9 Gods. O Atum, first in the Company of Amun,
6 Gave thou to thy Son a Space; Gave thou to thy
7 Daughter weight; Geb and Nut come forth and mate;
8 Their two twins dual and create.

09 O you Gods who are in the Bark with Ra,
10 O you Gods who are in the Company of the Judge,
11 O you Defendant who cometh before them:
12 Know them in the Order which they are gotten
13 To know that which is spoken truly under the Law:
14 To balance all forces in their dual Nature
15 By measuring their weight against the Light
16 And return equilibrium to scale
17 In the Hall of the Double Truths
18 Before the Seat of Judgement.

19 How is it done, the measurement
20 Of the weight of one’s Ka against the Light
21 Which is that constant Truth
22 O’er which thy Ba doth witness
23 The flux of the Scale,
24 Whether the Plumb condemns or vindicates
25 The Defendant as recorded in the presence of Wasar.
26 Know that this method be practicable
27 For making the Heart like a feather
28 And for doing Ma’at while on Earth
29 To make for thee thy conscience glad
30 And to make the Ruler to vindicate thy voice before the Sovereign Judge.
31 Concentrate, observe, and quantify thy measures;
32 Record and fix the weight;
33 Rebalance, recalibrate, and correct thy state
34 Of conduct, using the line of the Scale’s equilibrium
35 Whereon their weight hath been measured.
