The Egyptian Book of the dead

Note 5 — Chapter CXLIV

P. Le Page (Peter Le Page) Renouf translation

a word which has various meanings. Renouf translates: “protection, safeguard, powers, attributes.” I believe in many cases it corresponds to what we call “the nature,” and that it is used as a periphrase instead of an abstract adjective, which does not exist in Egyptian. The real sense of such an expression seems to be ‘such as he is, such am I, and such is Rā.’
