Inner Cities of Kohathite Worship

Neville's Inner Vision

Take the verse as a map of inner geography. The half-tribe of Manasseh represents a divided state of consciousness—two currents within you vying for attention. Aner and Bileam with their suburbs symbolize aspects of the self you have allowed to lay claim to the outer edges of your awareness. When the text speaks of these suburbs being assigned to the family of the remnant of the sons of Kohath, it is not about geography but about your inner governance. Kohath, the priestly line, stands for worship, consecrated use of energy, and alignment with the divine order within. The act of giving these suburbs to Kohathites is a depiction of you reclaiming the periphery and dedicating it to sacred purpose. In Neville’s terms, God is the I AM within you; you create your world by where you place your attention. By reassigning the outer suburbs to the Kohathites, you declare that your thoughts, memories, and affections are to serve holiness, not the ego’s wandering along the streets of doubt. Your inner city is structured by this decisive act of worship and belief.
