Hedjhotep (also Hedj-hotep from ḥḏ-ḥtp) was a minorШаблон:Sfn ancient Egyptian deity, a god of fabrics and clothesШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn and, to a lesser extent, of weaving and the deceased.Шаблон:Sfn Hedjhotep is sometimes described as a goddess rather than a god,Шаблон:Sfn holding a wadj-scepter and ankh sign.Шаблон:Sfn He possibly originated from the northern part of Middle Egypt.Шаблон:Sfn
The earliest attestations of Hedjhotep date back to the Twelfth Dynasty of the Middle Kingdom, when he appears in spells of the Coffin Texts including spells 779 and 908.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn
A cult center of Hedjhotep might have existed at the time east of the Faiyum in el Lahun.Шаблон:Sfn It is in nearby Harageh that archaeological excavations unearthed the only stele known to be dedicated explicitly to Hedjhotep, stele AEIN 1540,Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn from the tomb of a man named Nebipu who held the titles of "libationer" and "keeper of clothing".Шаблон:Sfn The onomastic of individuals who lived in the region of Heracleopolis Magna during the Middle Kingdom indicates that Hedjhotep then benefitted from a growing cult and dedicated priesthood.Шаблон:Sfn In spite of this, Hedjhotep does not seem to have been honoured by dedicated priests in subsequent periods of Ancient Egyptian history, during which he appears only sporadically on sarcophagi and liturgical contexts centered on rituals devoted to the king.Шаблон:Sfn
In parallel with these developments, the New Kingdom sees Hedjhotep being given medicinal roles. He is invoked with Shezmu, the god of the preparation of unguents, in the treatment of headache and stomach-ache,Шаблон:Sfn and in the making of amulets where he is in charge of their cords.Шаблон:Sfn Another papyrus of the same time period presents Hedjhotep as a dichotomy: beneficial as a god of clothing but harmful as a deity who committed an offence against Montu,Шаблон:Sfn possibly running away with one of his divine wivesШаблон:Sfn or having forced a sexual relation on him similar to what happens in "The Contendings of Horus and Seth".Шаблон:Sfn From this time onwards, Hedjhotep is often associated with a goddess of weaving named Tayt as well as with Renenutet.
Hedjhotep is more frequently honoured during the Late Period, Ptolemaic Kingdom and Roman period, when he is shown replacing Horus as the son of Isis in scenes of cloth-offerings. The latest period sees the development of a syncretism with the god Shu, making of Hedjhotep a son of Ra and the first to have dressed the naked, having invented clothing. Hedjhotep nonetheless remains primarily the god who creates the clothes of the king, the gods and the deceased, thereby stimulating their resurrection.Шаблон:Sfn
