Declaration of Innocence

iconChapter - 3

1I have not deprived the orphan of his property,
2I have not done what the gods detest,
3I have not slandered a servant to his master,
4I have not caused pain,
5I have not made hungry,
6I have not made hungry,
7I have not made to weep,
8I have not killed,
9I have not turned anyone over to a killer,
10I have not caused anyone’s suffering,
11I have not diminished the food-offerings in the temples,
12I have not debased the offering cakes of the gods.
13I have not taken the cakes of the blessed,
14I have not copulated illicitly,
15I have not been unchaste,
16I have not increased nor diminished the measure,
17I have not diminished the palm,
18I have not encroached upon fields,
19I have not added to the balance weights,
20I have not tempered with the plumb bob of the balance.
21I have not taken milk from a child’s mouth,
22I have not driven small cattle from their herbage,
23I have not snared birds for the gods’ harpoon barbs,
24I have not caught fish of their lagoons,
25I have not stopped the flow of water in its seasons.
26I have not built a dam against flowing water,
27I have not quenched a fire in its time.
28I have not failed to observe the days for haunches of meat.
29I have not kept cattle away from the God’s property,
30I have not blocked the God at his processions.
31I am Pure. I am pure. I am pure. I am pure.
32My purity is the purity of this great Phoenix that is in Heracleopolis,
