38.	So	that	thy	light	is	in	me;	&	its	red	flame	is	as	a	sword	in	my	hand	to	push	thy	order.	There	is	a	secret	door	that	I	shall	make	to	establish	thy	way	in	all	the	quarters,	(these	are	the	adorations,	as	thou	hast	written),	as	it	is	said:	The	light	is	mine;	its	rays	consume	Me:	I	have	made	a	secret	door	Into	the	House	of	Ra	and	Tum,	Of	Khephra	and	of	Ahathoor.	I	am	thy	Theban,	O	Mentu,	The	prophet	Ankh-af-na-khonsu!	By	Bes-na-Maut	my	breast	I	beat;	By	wise	Ta-Nech	I	weave	my	spell.	Show	thy	star-splendour,	O	Nuit!	Bid	me	within	thine	House	to	dwell,	O	winged	snake	of	light,	Hadit!	Abide	with	me,	Ra-Hoor-Khuit.

So that thy light is in me; & its red flame is as a sword in my hand to push thy order. There is a secret door that I shall make to establish thy way in all the quarters, (these are the adorations, as thou hast written), as it is said:
The light is mine; its rays consume
Me: I have made a secret door
Into the House of Ra and Tum,
Of Khephra and of Ahathoor.
I am thy Theban, O Mentu,
The prophet Ankh-af-na-khonsu!
By Bes-na-Maut my breast I beat;
By wise Ta-Nech I weave my spell.
Show thy star-splendour, O Nuit!
Bid me within thine House to dwell,
O wingèd snake of light, Hadit!
Abide with me, Ra-Hoor-Khuit!
