After the petitioner’s testimony containing the 42 affirmative declarations, the weighing of the ka for truth, and the reading of the scales, it is said that the doer of Maat is administered, Maat. If the Goddess Maat deems the petitioner to comply substantially with the 42 Laws of Maat, the petitioner passes from duat to the Field of Reeds (Arus), where Osiris sits as the final gatekeeper.
