On This Side Jordan: Law Declared

Deuteronomy 1:4-5 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Deuteronomy 1 in context

Scripture Focus

4After he had slain Sihon the king of the Amorites, which dwelt in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, which dwelt at Astaroth in Edrei:
5On this side Jordan, in the land of Moab, began Moses to declare this law, saying,
Deuteronomy 1:4-5

Biblical Context

Deuteronomy 1:4-5 describes Moses speaking the law to the Israelites after the victories over Sihon and Og, marking a shift from conquest to instruction on the Moab side of the Jordan.

Neville's Inner Vision

These lines announce the moment when a victorious state of mind turns inward, and the law is proclaimed not on battlefields but within the soul. Sihon and Og symbolize stubborn beliefs and fears defeated in consciousness; their defeat is your inner alignment—an I AM awareness that has cleared the outer terrain. On this side Jordan, in the land of Moab, you stand at the border of perception where the external world yields to the inward rule. Moses, the mouth of God within, begins to declare this law; not as time-bound command from without, but as a confident decree issued by your own I AM. The act of declaring the law is the inner practice that follows conquest: once you know you are the state of consciousness that perceives, the instruction arises naturally. The law you proclaim is the consistency of your inner being, an unchanging standard by which appearances are measured. In Neville's language: you are the doer and the deed; imagination frames reality; obedience is fidelity to the inner law.

Practice This Now

Practice: Sit quietly, assume the I AM now as the sole ruler; revise any limitation by declaring, 'I am the law in this situation.' Then feel it real by picturing Moses beginning to declare the law within you, and let that inner decree redraw your outer world.
