ABSTRACT
This chapter presents some valuable information concerning the reunion and recognition of relatives and friends in Sekhet-hetep, and M. Lacau's excellent edition of the text is a useful contribution to the literature which specially concerns Sekhet-hetep. It describes Sekhet-hetep and the Halls and Gates of the Other World according to the Book of Coming Forth by Day. The chapter considers how far souls in Sekhet-hetep had the power to know and recognize each other, and to enjoy intercourse with relatives and friends. From many scenes and passages in texts it has for some time past been clear that husband met wife, and wife met husband again beyond the grave, for in the Papyrus of Ani, people see Ani accompanied by his wife in the House of Osiris and in many other places, and in the Papyrus of Anhai.
