Names Within Naphtali's Line
1 Chronicles 7:13 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Chronicles 7 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse records Naphtali's four sons—Jahziel, Guni, Jezer, and Shallum—and notes them as the sons of Bilhah. It is a straightforward genealogical listing of names.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within Neville's lens, Naphtali is a state of awareness, a segment of consciousness that carries a particular set of images and decisions. The listing of Jahziel, Guni, Jezer, and Shallum is not mere antiquarian detail; it is an inner census of the qualities you are currently imagining into life. Bilhah, the mother of these names, represents an imaginative nurture—the impulse out of which your thoughts give birth to forms. To see these names is to observe the movements of inner life—subtle shifts in attention, belief, and feeling—that together compose the present experience. If you dwell on these names as external genealogies, you separate yourself from their power. Neville would urge you to rewrite them as inner states you intend to inhabit: Jahziel as steady vision, Guni as creative energy, Jezer as resolute action, Shallum as humble patience. When you affirm that these inner births belong to your Naphtali awareness, you awaken the covenant loyalty—the knowing that God is the I AM—present within. Your imagination is not a spectator here; it is the womb of what you call real. By treating these names as your own formative acts, you sculpt reality from the inside out.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and imagine Jahziel, Guni, Jezer, and Shallum as living inner qualities within your Naphtali-state. Revise them into the traits you desire and feel them as real right now.
