Selected sources: B1P; B2Bo; B3Bo; B4Bo; B4C; B6C; S10C

Ho N!⁽¹⁾
Take possession of the sky,
Inherit the earth!
Who is he

who shall take away this sky from you as this fair young god⁽²⁾?

You are vindicated

against your foes, male or female.

Notes

1. Only written in B6C and B15C which led to Faulkners interpretation of Spell 5 being a continuation of Spell 4.
2. S10C changes this phrase to "(...) by the means of Re, the eldest of the gods [...]".
