Read Deuteronomy 15 in context

Scripture Focus

9Beware that there be not a thought in thy wicked heart, saying, The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand; and thine eye be evil against thy poor brother, and thou givest him nought; and he cry unto the LORD against thee, and it be sin unto thee.

10Thou shalt surely give him, and thine heart shall not be grieved when thou givest unto him: because that for this thing the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all thy works, and in all that thou puttest thine hand unto.

11For the poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land.

Deuteronomy 15:9-11

Biblical Context

Verse 9-11 warns against a stingy heart when the year of release is near. It commands open-handed generosity to the poor and promises blessing for the giver. The text also acknowledges that the poor will not cease in the land, signaling a call to cultivate inner abundance regardless of outward need.

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville Goddard's reading, the seventh year is not a calendar but a season within consciousness. If you cling to lack and eye the poor with reluctance, you contract your own energy and miss the divine flow. Openhand means awaken to the truth that you are the source of your supply; generosity is a state of mind, a decisive shift in how you feel and think about wealth. When you give without grief, you align with the I AM that blesses all works and all hands that touch creation. The verse admits the worldly condition that scarcity appears, yet your response is to maintain an inner posture of plenty, for blessing follows the state you inhabit. As you embody openhandedness, the external world mirrors that abundance, and your acts of mercy become creative acts of inner alignment rather than mere charity.
