Having learned that Isis had buried the remains of Osiris, Seth flew into a frenzy and ordered her to be imprisoned. Even the very thought that Osiris was given funeral honors was unbearable for the villain - but he did not even suspect that the body of Osiris had been restored.
With the help of Thoth, Isis managed to escape from custody. She hid in the swamps of the Great River Delta and there she bore Horus, the rightful heir to the throne of Osiris.
The day of birth has arrived. Such a hurricane came that even the almighty gods shuddered in horror. Isis woke up and exclaimed;
- Oh, gods! I am Isis, sister of Osiris <... > I will give birth to a son, and he will rule this earth, he will inherit Hebe, he will talk about his father, he will kill Set, the enemy of his father Osiris! Protect him, gods! - she solemnly exclaimed and raised her hands to the heavens, where the Boat of Eternity floated. - Know: this will be your master, the lord of the gods, although they are great, beautiful, with double lapis lazuli feathers!
- Yes! - said Atum. - Let your heart calm down. And he cast a spell that was supposed to protect Horus from his mother’s womb:
“Let this enemy [Seth], who killed his father, not come to crush the egg.”
- Atum said! - Isis exclaimed. “He ordered for my sake that my son be protected in my womb, he created protection for him in this womb, for he knows that this is the heir of Osiris!” Give protection to the falcon that is in my belly!
Great Atum heeded her words and said loudly, addressing the Chorus:
- Lord of the gods! Go, come out to earth! I grant you that the companions of your father Osiris will praise you and follow you! I will create your name!
After these words, spoken publicly by Atum, Isis gave birth to Horus. Secretly from everyone, she began to feed the baby and eagerly awaited the day when the Choir would take his father’s place on the earthly throne and avenge his death. After all, no one else dared to challenge the throne of the powerful Seth.
