Chapter 5  
     
1.
 And as the body of Osiris was formed once more, the wars that men were waging died down;
 
2.
 peace came; grain, and the vine, and the fruit-trees grew once more.
  
3.
 And a voice came to Isis and told her that Osiris lived again,
 
4.
 but that he lived in the Underworld where he was now the Judge of the Dead,
 
5.
 and that through the justice that he meted out, men and women had life immortal.
 
6.
 And a child of Osiris was born to Isis: Horus he was named.
 
7.
 Nephthys and the wise Thout guarded him on the floating island where he was born.
 
8.
 Horus grew up, and he strove against the evil power of Sêth.
 
9.
 In battle he overcame him, and in bonds he brought the evil Sêth, the destroyer of his father, before Isis, his mother.
 
10.
 Isis would not have Sêth slain: still he lives, but now he is of the lesser Gods, and his power for evil is not so great as it was in the time before Horus grew to be the avenger of his father.
