"He who knows this book on earth, or on whose coffin it has been written, may come out from the day when he pleases, and again enter his dwelling, without anyone repulsing him. And there shall be given to him bread, beer, much flesh meat, upon the altar-table of Ra; he shall recieve allotment of land in the garden of Aalu, and there shall be given to him grain, and he shall grown green (flourish) again, like he was upon earth."
