Foundations of Inner Kinship

1 Chronicles 2:44-45 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 1 Chronicles 2 in context

Scripture Focus

44And Shema begat Raham, the father of Jorkoam: and Rekem begat Shammai.
45And the son of Shammai was Maon: and Maon was the father of Bethzur.
1 Chronicles 2:44-45

Biblical Context

The verses present a chain of ancestors and towns, outlining a family lineage that grounds Bethzur as a sacred place. In Neville's view, these are inner states of consciousness shaping your present life.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the quiet of your inner space, the names Shema, Raham, Rekem, Shammai, Maon, and Bethzur are not external people but your own states of awareness in procession. Each 'begat' marks a movement of consciousness that births a new facet of your being; the father of Jorkoam is the rising idea that roots the next appearing condition. God is not out there but the I AM that witnesses this sequence. The places Bethzur and Kirjath-jearim become inner temples, built by attention, where the affinities of mind settle into form. The theme 'Family & Marriage' signals the binding of ideas and feelings into a cooperative accord within your house of awareness. If you feel discord, you are simply seeing an earlier generation still governing you. You can revise the script by consenting to a newer founder—declare, in imagination, that Bethzur is now established as your inner sanctuary, and that the lineage of harmony proceeds from this foundation. In this way, the verse becomes a manual for reconditioning consciousness: you choose the next generation by who you consent to be in the moment.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and affirm: I am the founder of Bethzur in my mind; align my inner states to bring harmony to my relationships and home; feel the temple within as already established.
