Abstract

Kings and gods adorn the walls of Egyptian temples in face-to-face meetings. The relation
between the King and the gods in offerings scenes represents the idea of an exchange or
describes the exchanges between the King and the gods. The benefit of the offerings represents
both the act of the King and the reward of the gods to him. When the King (provider) gives an
offering to the gods (recipients) they give to him a good reward related with that offering. The
subject of this paper is a special kind of reward. In some offerings the King is rewarded with Egypt
itself, Kmt and its synonyms (Isty, BAqt, % nwt, &A, &Awy, &A-mry, &A-^maw, &A-MHw). The paper will
discuss the hieroglyphic words for the word .reward. and its synonyms. And it will examine a
number of texts where Egypt appears as a reward for the King.
