Inner Lineage to Abraham

1 Chronicles 1:17-27 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 1 Chronicles 1 in context

Scripture Focus

17The sons of Shem; Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram, and Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Meshech.
18And Arphaxad begat Shelah, and Shelah begat Eber.
19And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of the one was Peleg; because in his days the earth was divided: and his brother's name was Joktan.
20And Joktan begat Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah,
21Hadoram also, and Uzal, and Diklah,
22And Ebal, and Abimael, and Sheba,
23And Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab. All these were the sons of Joktan.
24Shem, Arphaxad, Shelah,
25Eber, Peleg, Reu,
26Serug, Nahor, Terah,
27Abram; the same is Abraham.
1 Chronicles 1:17-27

Biblical Context

The passage traces a genealogical line from Shem’s sons down to Abram, signaling a continuity of lineage.

Neville's Inner Vision

As you read these names you are not listing strangers; you are naming inner states of your own mind. Shem and his sons are not places in a map, but kingdoms within you—the possibilities and dispositions you inhabit. Arphaxad, Elam, Asshur, and the rest are affinities of awareness, each representing a quality of consciousness you can assume. When Arphaxad begat Shelah and Shelah begat Eber, you witness the emergence of a living lineage: your thought-life giving birth to more refined states. Eber’s sons, Peleg and Joktan, mark the moment—division, choice, the turning point where you decide to reframe your world, to shift from a worn pattern to a new land. Joktan’s descendants—Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah, Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah, Ebal, Abimael, Sheba, Ophir, Havilah, Jobab—represent a plenitude of qualities you may inhabit in mind. All these arise from Joktan, yet the line culminates in Abram, the man of faith within you, the I AM discovering itself as a steadfast kingdom. The providence here is not about external ancestry, but the order you sustain within. Practically, assume you are the rightful heir of this line now; feel that your mind is already Abraham, the awakened awareness projecting its blessed outcomes.

Practice This Now

Assume you are the inner Abraham now; in a quiet moment, declare 'I am Abraham' and feel the land of your consciousness settle into the promised state.
