The Egyptian Book of the dead

Note 2 — Chapter CLIV · The Chapter of not letting the body decay(1) in the Netherworld.

P. Le Page (Peter Le Page) Renouf translation

, is generally translated “firm, stable, abiding” (Chapter 1, note 9), but I believe in most cases it has another sense: “to vivify, to impart the breath of life,” as one may judge from the title of Chapter 182, which mentions two acts, one of which is the 324consequence of the other, : “the book of vivifying Osiris, giving breath to him whose heart is motionless.”
