Qebehsenuef

Qebehsenuef

Qebehsenuef (His name is variously realised as "Kebehsenuf", "Kebechsenef", "Qebshenuf", "Qebehsenuf or Kabexnuf". It probably means something like 'My Brothers') was one of the sons of Horus in Egyptian mythology, the god of protection and of the West. [ [http://www.sacred-texts.com/egy/ebod/ebod39.htm] Budge, E. Wallis. The Book of the Dead: The Papyrus of Ani. (1895)] In the preparation of mummies, his canopic jar was used for the intestines. He is seen as a mummy with a falcon head.

:" [Qebhsennuf saith:] "I am thy son, O Osiris Ani, triumphant. I have come to protect thee. I have collected thy bones, and I have gathered together thy members. I have brought thy heart and I have placed it upon its throne within thy body. I have made thy house to flourish after thee, O thou who livest for ever." [ [http://www.sacred-texts.com/egy/ebod/ebod39.htm Plates XXXIII and XXXIV ] ]

Together with Maa-atef-f, Kheri-beq-f, and Horus-Khenti-maa, the four sons of Horus (the other three were Imset, Hapi and Tuamutef) were known as the Seven Shining Ones, protectors of the body of Osiris.
