Byrd has precisely nailed this, though I will just add that it represents the rejoining of the soul with the body, of Ra that is of course. The actual mechanics of now Ra and Sokar-Osiris "merge" is, apart from on the second shrine of Tutankhamun, which is, er, enigmatic, is hidden within the hidden chamber, only alluded to, or so vague as to not explain anything at all. This scene in the Sixth Hour is then the first appearance of the regenerated, but technically still dead Ra, he is still called "Flesh" as well as being called Khepri.
