Neville Goddard on Deuteronomy 15:19-23 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Deuteronomy 15 in context

Scripture Focus

19All the firstling males that come of thy herd and of thy flock thou shalt sanctify unto the LORD thy God: thou shalt do no work with the firstling of thy bullock, nor shear the firstling of thy sheep.

20Thou shalt eat it before the LORD thy God year by year in the place which the LORD shall choose, thou and thy household.

21And if there be any blemish therein, as if it be lame, or blind, or have any ill blemish, thou shalt not sacrifice it unto the LORD thy God.

22Thou shalt eat it within thy gates: the unclean and the clean person shall eat it alike, as the roebuck, and as the hart.

23Only thou shalt not eat the blood thereof; thou shalt pour it upon the ground as water.

Deuteronomy 15:19-23

Biblical Context

The passage orders sanctifying the firstborn to the Lord, ensured by blemish checks; it prescribes eating it in the chosen place, and allows both the clean and unclean to eat, while forbidding blood.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this decree, the firstling is not merely a beast but the first impulse arising in your consciousness. Sanctify it to the I AM, quietly affirm, This thought or urge belongs to the God I am, and I will honor it by alignment, not force. Do no outward work with the firstling; let no exterior push compel it into form. If it is blemished—lame or blind—do not sacrifice it as flawless; acknowledge the imperfection and revise it into harmony with your true self. Eat it before the Lord in the place He chooses: bring the impulse into your inner sanctuary and feed it with awareness, along with your mental household. The unclean and the clean may eat alike, so within your inner temple there is no exclusion—observe, discern, bless. Do not eat the blood; release the vitality you do not require and pour it out upon the ground as water. In this sacred order, your first thoughts become obedient servants to the I AM, shaping reality as you imagine and feel them aligned.

Practice This Now

Practice: close your eyes, enter your inner sanctuary, and declare that the first impulse is sanctified to the I AM. Then revise it to align with your true self and feel it real.
