The Book of Apep - Version A


Uploaded by EvolutionsofRa on Mar 11, 2011

The BOOK OF APEP, the great enemy of the Sun-god. Apep was the god of evil, who became incarnate in many forms, especially in wild and savage animals and in monster serpents and venomous reptiles of every kind. He was supposed to take the form of a huge serpent and to lie in wait near the portals of the dawn daily, so that he might swallow up the sun as he was about to rise in the eastern sky. He was accompanied by legions of devils and fiends, red and black, and by all the powers of storm, tempest, hurricane, whirlwind, thunder and lightning, and he was the deadly foe of all order, both physical and moral, and of all good in heaven and in earth. At certain times during the day and night the priests in the temple of Amen-Ra recited a series of chapters, and performed a number of magical ceremonies, which were intended to strengthen the arms of the Sun-god, and give him power to overcome the resistance of Apep. These chapters acted on Apep as spells, and they paralysed the monster just as he was about to attack the Sun-god. The god then approached and shot his fiery darts into him, and his attendant gods hacked the monster's body to pieces, which shrivelled up under the burning heat of the rays of the Sun-god, and all the devils and fiends of darkness fled shrieking in terror at their leader's fate. The sun then rose on this world, and all the stars and spirits of the morning and all the gods of heaven sang for joy. The complete text of this book is found in a long papyrus dated in the reign of Alexander II in the British Museum (No. 10,188).

"The book of knowing the evolutions of Ra, and of overthrowing Apep. The words of Ner-er-tcher [which] he spake after he had come into being. I am he who came into being in the form of Khepera, I was (or became) the creator of what came into being, the creator of what came into being all; after my coming into being many [p.309] [were] the things which came into being coming forth from my mouth. Not existed heaven, not existed earth, not had been created the things of the earth, (i.e., plants) and creeping things in place that; I raised up them from out of Nu (i.e. the primeval abyss of water) from a state of inactivity. Not found I a place I could stand wherein. I worked a charm upon (or, with) my heart. I laid a foundation in Maā [and] I made attribute every. I was alone, [for] not had I spit in the form of Shu, not [p.310] had I emitted Tefnut, not existed another who worked with me. I made a foundation in my heart my own (or, by means of my own will) [and] there came into being the multitudes of things which came into being of the things which came into being from out of the things which came into being of births, from out of the things which came into being of their births. I, even I, had union with my clenched hand, I joined myself in an embrace with my shadow, I poured seed into my mouth my own, [p.311] I sent forth issue in the form of Shu, I sent forth moisture in the form of Tefnut. Saith my father Nu, "They make to weak my eye behind them, because for double henti periods they proceeded from me after I became from god one gods three, that is from out of myself, [and after] I came into being in earth this. Were raised up therefore Shu [and] Tefnut in the inert watery mass wherein they were, brought they to me my eye in their train. After therefore I had united my members [p.312] I wept over them, [and[ came into being men and women from the tears [which] came forth from my earth, [and] it raged against me after it came and found [that] I had made another in its place. endowed it with the power (or, splendour) which I had made. Having made to approach therefore its place in my face, afterwards therefore it ruleth earth this is to its whole extent. Fall their moments (or, seasons) upon their plants, I endowed it with what it hath taken possession of in it. I came forth from (or, in the form of) the plants, [p.313] creeping things all, [and] things which came into being all [are] in them. Give birth Shu and Tefnut [Seb] and Nut. Give birth Seb and Nut to Osiris, Horus-Khent-an-maati, Set, Isis, Nephthys from the womb, one after the other of them, they give birth [and] they multiply in earth this."
