Osiris, the highest angel in heaven, was the Sun God, that is, God of Gods; for all other Gods were his satellites.
He revealed certain laws to mortals, and these were the Sun laws; and all minor laws were satellites.
A Sun law extended over all of Egupt, but a satellite law pertained to the minor affairs of a city or province; but it must conform to the Sun laws.

They should not hold sun places (be employers), but be as servants only all their lives.
