Inner Lineage of Gershonites

1 Chronicles 23:7-11 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 1 Chronicles 23 in context

Scripture Focus

7Of the Gershonites were, Laadan, and Shimei.
8The sons of Laadan; the chief was Jehiel, and Zetham, and Joel, three.
9The sons of Shimei; Shelomith, and Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the chief of the fathers of Laadan.
10And the sons of Shimei were, Jahath, Zina, and Jeush, and Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei.
11And Jahath was the chief, and Zizah the second: but Jeush and Beriah had not many sons; therefore they were in one reckoning, according to their father's house.
1 Chronicles 23:7-11

Biblical Context

The text inventories Gershonite lineages and the chiefs of Laadan and Shimei, marking the order of the clan. It notes how some lines are more numerous, others fewer, yet all are reckoned within the father's house.

Neville's Inner Vision

These verses do not merely name names; they map the interior geography of your being. The Gershonites—Laadan and Shimei—represent inner dispositions, while Jehiel and Jahath stand as governing ideas you hold in your mind. The fact that Jeush and Beriah had few sons and yet are counted with their father's house speaks of a unity of your whole consciousness: some faculties are abundant, others sparse, yet all belong to one family under the one I AM. When the text says they were reckoned according to their father's house, hear that your inner states are organized not by chance but by an eternal lineage within awareness. The names invite you to observe your own mental town: which habits and moods lead, which lag, which support the whole? By inquiring within and assuming a higher order, you become the chief over your inner house rather than its servant. Your imagination, rightly directed, re-names your life and redirects its energy toward harmony and common purpose.

Practice This Now

Assume the thought, 'I am the living line of wholeness in my inner house.' Feel the reality of that I AM settling into every facet of mind until your surroundings reflect unity.
