Dance of Presence and Sacrifice

2 Samuel 6:13-14 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 2 Samuel 6 in context

Scripture Focus

13And it was so, that when they that bare the ark of the LORD had gone six paces, he sacrificed oxen and fatlings.
14And David danced before the LORD with all his might; and David was girded with a linen ephod.
2 Samuel 6:13-14

Biblical Context

Six steps for the ark are followed by a sacrificial act; then David dances before the LORD with all his might, symbolizing wholehearted worship. It links ceremonial acts with a living, joyful Presence.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you, the ark is the I AM, the indwelling Presence ready to be acknowledged. The six paces are not steps in a march but six turns of attention toward the sanctuary within, each move dissolving doubt and drawing you closer to awareness. The sacrifices are symbolic acts of letting go: surrendering old identifications—fear, lack, the need to prove yourself—so your mind becomes pure space for God’s activity. David’s dancing with all his might becomes a figurative image of your imagination as it comes alive with reality; when you feel the Presence fully, your body responds as worship in motion. The linen ephod represents your true attire—undressed by ego, clothed in light. The result is not a future event but a present shift: you inhabit the divine Presence here and now, and your life becomes the joyful expression of that state.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes, image the ark within you, take six mindful breaths as steps toward stillness, release an old belief as a sacrifice, and then feel your entire being dance in the presence of God.
