Inner Lineage of Gershonites
1 Chronicles 23:7-11 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Chronicles 23 in context
Scripture Focus
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.
