$H Khem or Horus-khem. Egypt

Khem. (See AMSU.)(1902= b1)

Khem. Or Horus-khem, "The Bull of= his Mother." This ithyphall= ic deity was generally represented as standing upright, with his right arm extended in the attitude of scattering seed, and having behind it the threshing instrument which is generally called a flagellum. His left hand= and arm are closely enveloped in a thick robe, which swathes him like a mummy. His phallus is erected; and his headdress consisted of two upright plumes similar to those of the deity Amen Ra; he wore a large and richly ornamen= ted collar round his neck. Mythologically Khem represented the idea of divini= ty in its double character of father and son. As father he was called the husband of his mother, while as a son he was assimilated to the god Horus= . He properly symbolised generative power, surviving death indeed, but submitt= ing to a state of rigidity and inertion over which he could not triumph till his left arm was freed. In the CXLVIth chapter of the Book of the Dead, the deceased is said to exclaim, when his soul is reunited to his body, "that he has overcome his bandages, and that it is given him to exte= nd his arm." Khem was also the symbolic deity of vegetable life, and it= was probably in allusion to this theory that in a vignette to the Book of the Dead, the new birth of the deceased is represented by a tree growing out = of his person while he lies upon a bier. The great festival of germination, = in the Egyptian husbandry was held in honour of the god Khem, and it is fully figured on the walls of the palace temple of Rameses III. at Medinet Habu. (1876c1)

Kheper or Khepera. One of the principal gods. The actual word Kheper signifies becomi= ng or turning, in the sense of transformation, and the god is a type of the resurrection. He is also a form of the rising sun. He is represented as a= man with a beetle for a head, or with a man's head surmounted by a beetle. The beetle being his emblem, probably became a symbol of the resurrection, and may thus account for the multitudes of beetles in stones and faïence that have been found in Egypt. On tomb walls he is seen seated in the boat of the sun. In later times the scribes frequently played upon his name in the various meanings of the wo= rd. ILLUS. K= heper.(1902b1)=
