Osiris presided over a type of "hearing" for the dead. At the the first part of the hearing -the "negative confession"- the deceased could declare himself free of sin, and attempt to fool the gods. Also, there was the belief that simply saying one was free of sin made one free of sin. The second part of the hearing was presided over by Thoth, god of of wisdom, thought, and reason. Thoth weighed the heart of the deceased against an ostrich feather, which was the symbol of Mayet, the god of truth and justice. If the person was free of sin/ pure, then the heart weighed the same as the feather. The deceased was then brought before Osiris, who declared the verdict.
