Chapter 10: Who Wrote the Bible and Why? 437
“Your sister Isis comes to you rejoicing for love of you. You have placed her on
your phallus and your seed issues into her, she being ready as Sothis, and Har-
Sopd has come forth from you as Horus who is in Sothis.”
Isis is described as being “ready like Sothis”. This readiness is described in
overtly sexual terms as though some dynamic interaction between bodies of the
cosmos is being described sexually - an exchange takes place between them. We
then read that, as a result of this cosmic interaction of impregnation, “sopd” is
supposed to be “born from Isis as Horus comes forth from Sothis”.
What is this “sopd”?
In utterance 412 the following lines:
“The Great One falls upon his side, He who is in Nedit quivers, his head is lifted by
Re; he detests sleep, he hates inertness. O flesh of the King, do not decay, do not
rot, do not smell unpleasant. Your foot will not be overpassed, your stride will not
be overstridden, you shall not tread on the corruption of Osiris. You shall reach the
sky as Orion your soul shall be as effective as Sothis; have power, having power;
be strong, having strength; may your soul stand among the gods as Horus who
dwells in Irs. May the terror of you come into being in the hearts of the gods like
the Nt-crown...”
In this passage, it seems as though Sothis is compared to something that is
“effective and powerful” and having strength like Horus.
In utterance 472, we find this:
“I go up on this eastern side of the sky where the gods were born, and I am born as
Horus, as Him of the horizon; I am vindicated and my double is vindicated; Sothis
is my sister, the Morning Star is my offspring.”
First the writer says I am “as Horus”, followed by an allusion to Horus being his
“double” followed by an immediate mention of Sothis as this double, though the
allusion to a “double” is given as a “sister”.
In Utterance 1074:
“Sothis goes forth clad in her brightness, she censes the bright ones who are among
them. The striking powers of the city are quiet, the region is content. I have
prepared a road that I may pass on it, namely what Meref foretold in On.”
This passage is, apparently, very problematical because Faulkner has footnoted
almost every term. In particular, the word “brightness” above is noted to be a word
that means “sharpness”.
This brings us to our strange word that is transliterated as spd, or Soped.
Regarding the above mention of “sharpness” related to Sothis going forth, we find
that spd-ibhw means “sharp toothed”. Sharp toothed occurs repeatedly in a certain
context illustrated by Utterance 222:
“I have come to you, my father, I have come to you, O great Wild Bull. ...I have
come to you, my father, I have come to you, O Sopd.”
Now, this “Sopd” is transliterated as “spdw” being very similar to “spdt” that is
translated as “sothis”. It is obvious that the translators have a problem with this
“spdw”, and just translate it as “Sopd”. In the end, we have three very similar
words: spdt, spdw, and spd-ibhw (sharp toothed), and my guess is that this “sharp
toothed” business may relate to something that is visually similar to a mouth full
