Djehuty has come to you. Awake in peace when you hear his words.
I have come as the envoy of Atum.

I have given Heru his eye, I have placed the Wadjet eye in the correct position.
I have given Set his testicles, so that the two lords are content through the work of my hands.
I know the sky, I know the earth. I know Heru, I know Set.
I am Djehuty, who reconciles the gods,
Who makes offerings in their correct form,
Who establishes Ma’at everywhere She is.

The Chapter of Concluding The Rite

The magician slowly closes the shrine with the words to be spoken:
Djehuty has come.
He has filled the eye of Heru,
He has restored the testicles of Setekh.
No evil shall enter this temple.
Ptah has closed the door, Djehuty has set it fast.
The door is closed, the door is set fast with the bolt.
Djehuty has performed the rites in the correct form.
Ma’at is established in this place forever.

The magician extinguishes the shrine lamps, then offers henu to the shrine and removes the foot.

It is done in this way for millions of years.
