Issachar's Inner Lineage

1 Chronicles 7:1-3 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 1 Chronicles 7 in context

Scripture Focus

1Now the sons of Issachar were, Tola, and Puah, Jashub, and Shimrom, four.
2And the sons of Tola; Uzzi, and Rephaiah, and Jeriel, and Jahmai, and Jibsam, and Shemuel, heads of their father's house, to wit, of Tola: they were valiant men of might in their generations; whose number was in the days of David two and twenty thousand and six hundred.
3And the sons of Uzzi; Izrahiah: and the sons of Izrahiah; Michael, and Obadiah, and Joel, Ishiah, five: all of them chief men.
1 Chronicles 7:1-3

Biblical Context

The passage lists Issachar’s four sons and their leaders, framing a genealogical account as a record of lines of authority within a community.

Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine Issachar’s four sons—Tola, Puah, Jashub, Shimrom—as four faculties of your own mind. Their names, and the leaders that follow, are not dead names on a scroll but dynamic states of consciousness vying for prominence in your present moment. In Neville’s terms, the outer list becomes an inner map: the heads of their father’s house mark the leadership of each faculty within you, and the phrase valiant men of might signals the power available when you align these faculties with a clear purpose. The numbers—two and twenty thousand and six hundred—signal the momentum you may marshal in a single act of awareness; the five chief men under Izrahiah point to five guiding aspects that anchor your self-image. When you dwell in David’s day—the symbol of your now—you are invited to claim dignity for every part of your being. Your community is your own mind, a unity of diverse energies guided by the one I AM you already are. This list, then, is a blueprint for inner harmony, not a genealogical curiosity but a practical chart for manifesting orderly, dignified living.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Assume you are the I AM, steward of your inner house. Revise one belief about your community of self and feel the leaders of your four faculties moving in harmony now.
