Besides his priapic or "Ithyphallic" form, Khem's character was marked by the assignment to him of the goat as his symbol, and by his ordinary title Ka-mutf, "The Bull of his Mother," i.e., of nature." This paragraph clearly indicates that the sexual organs were worshipped under the form of Khem by the Egyptians.
And more, thou art the Queen of Khem, thou art Pharaoh's wife, whom I swore to guard; but thou hast brought the last shame upon me, for now I am a man dishonoured, and I have sinned against the hospitable hearth, and the God of guests and hosts. And therefore I will do this. I will call together the guard of which I am chief, and tell them all thy shame, ay, and all my sorrow.
Then they drew me forth again, and the eldest among them, a man very old and venerable, the Priest of the Temple of the Divine Hatshepu at Tápé, spoke, in icy accents: "Thou Harmachis, we have considered this matter. Thou hast sinned the threefold deadly sin. On thy head lies the burden of the woe of Khem, this day enthralled of Rome.
It is pointed out above that the origin of circumcision and excision is to be sought in another direction. Such seems to be the nature of certain images among the Western Bantu, and this may have been the case with the images of the Egyptian Khem and Osiris and similar deities.
Nay, no Goddess have we here, but an evil-working witch, who hath brought woes unnumbered upon Khem. Because of her, men die month by month till the vaults of the Temple of Hathor are full of her slain.
Is that all thy message, Meriamun?" "Not all, Odysseus. One more thing must thou swear, or if thou swearest it not, here thou shalt surely die. Know this, she who in Khem is named the Hathor, but who perchance has other names, hath put thee from her because last night thou wast wed to me." "It may well be so," said the Wanderer.
Lalun finished her song, pointed to the Fort, and said simply: "Khem Singh." "Hm," said Wali Dad. "If the Pearl chooses to tell you the Pearl is a fool." I translated to Lalun, who laughed. "I choose to tell what I choose to tell. They kept Khem Singh in Burma," said she. "They kept him there for many years until his mind was changed in him. So great was the kindness of the Government.
"But hers was the master-mind, and she ruled Pharaoh as she ruled all else. "For me, my lot was bettered; she talked much with me, and advanced me to great dignity, so that I was the first Master Builder in Khem, and Commander of the legion of Amen. "Now it chanced that Meriamun made a feast, where she entertained Pharaoh and Hataska sat beside him.
They looked on him amazed, they cried aloud that this was the God of War come down to do battle for Khem, that it was Sutek the Splendid, that it was Baal in his strength; they fled amain before his glory and his might.
"What passes now in this haunted land of thine, old man?" said the Wanderer, "for of all the sights that I have seen, this is the strangest. None lifts a hand to save his goods from the thief." Rei the Priest groaned aloud. "Evil days have come upon Khem," he said. "The Apura spoil the people of Khem ere they fly into the Wilderness."
