Death as an Enemy 4

The righteous dead receive funerary offerings, just as they made offerings to the gods in life. Having practised ma'at during their lives, they are qualified to become judges in their own right in the netherworld.

The next part is "Terms for Sin". This oughta be good. Let's see:

Words (ḏw, bin) which just mean "bad" or "unpleasant", which can also be used to refer to (for example) disease, misfortune, nightmares, or sour milk.

Words for "disaster and misery"

Words for being bent or crooked

Words for "taboo" - things which "man may not touch, which he must respect". 

Ṯmś "red" - perhaps connected to the words ṯmś.w, "sin".

Wn - "guilt"

Ḳn - "damage", "also used in connection with famine"

Words for sin as rebellion

Words for sin as transgression, such as Thi, "also used of overstepping a limit"

Sp - a neutral word meaning case or character

And last but not least, the "most usual term", isf.t - "often opposed to maʿ.t and parallel with grg, lie". It means literally: "What is worn out, what is flimsy".

In the next part of the book, Jan Zandee takes a much more detailed look at the individual terms used for the concepts I've summarised. I think I'll poke through those looking for interesting tidbits.
