I just went through the entirety of Budge’s “Book of the Dead” which is the Papyrus of Ani and could not find it.

Rarnaby Budge? Sorry, Monty Python flashback.

http://www.worldprayers.org/frameit.cgi?/archive/prayers/celebrations/god_be_between_you_and.html

God be between you and harm in all the empty places you walk. [blessing of the 18th egyptian dynasty]

It popped into a lot of consciousnesses due to its use in Bab5. Wikiquote pointed here:

It’s also claimed that its first appearance was in Bab5 and to check the dates. Here’s a bit more:

Movie Name: Tut: The Boy King (1978)

Quote: [last lines]

Himself - Host: A final moment of contemplation, an early Egyptian grace note in the distant music of the Nile: God be between you and harm in all the empty places you must walk. Good night.

and here’s some other use of it:

A Blessing For All Children
May God be between you and harm in all the empty places you walk.
May the power of water bring you life and sustenance, and the courage to feel through your way.
May the power of fire bring you strength and passion to go along your way.
May the power of earth bring you grounding in a strong body, to be centred in you way.
May the power of air bring you a clear mind to see your way.
Ann Arthur (With Hands Together)
