The concept of reciprocity is also found in the royal texts, showing its acceptance as a central moral concept throughout Kemetic society. Thus, Thutmose 111 says: “The recompense of him who does excellent things is a reward for him of things more excellent than they”. This is an interesting assertion for it goes beyond simple equal return and suggests God gives more good than the good that is done. Such an assertion posits a concept of God as both merciful and generous in his reciprocity. Hatshepsut speaks of her devotion to and deeds for Amen Ra and then says, “He made me rule the Black Land and the Red Land as a reward … I am his daughter in truth who serves him and knows what he has ordained.
