the Greek φέρειν, means _bear_ in the sense of _holding up_, _supporting_. When it signifies _bring_ the collateral notion of _motion_ is imported from the context. The god Shu, who is called ⁂⁂, _holds up_, _supports_, _the sky_, but does not _bring_ it. The god _who holds up his arm_, is of course the ithyphallic Amon[132] ⁂, who in Ch. 17 is identified not only with Horus but with Osiris.
