Purity of Inner Offerings

Deuteronomy 23:17-18 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Deuteronomy 23 in context

Scripture Focus

17There shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel, nor a sodomite of the sons of Israel.
18Thou shalt not bring the hire of a whore, or the price of a dog, into the house of the LORD thy God for any vow: for even both these are abomination unto the LORD thy God.
Deuteronomy 23:17-18

Biblical Context

The passage forbids prostitution and the use of its wages in offerings, signaling a boundary that touches both personal integrity and sacred devotion. It emphasizes purity in how one earns and dedicates what is dedicated to the LORD.

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through the inner-world lens, this text does not condemn desires but reveals the economy of your consciousness. The 'whore' and the 'hire of a whore' symbolize impulses you would monetize to secure status or ritual approval. The house of the LORD thy God is not a stone building; it is your awareness, the altar of attention. To bring the hire or the price into that house is to pretend a vow while paying with compromised energy; it is an abomination because it splits worship from living integrity. The discipline here is simple: guard your inner currency with sacred regard for truth. When you entertain a thought, know it can be transformed; when you make a vow, keep it with fidelity in mind and feeling. In imagination, practice being the temple that offers energy to the I AM, not to fear or appetite. If you revise your inner economy to purity, the outer offerings of life will reflect your sanctified state.

Practice This Now

Assume you are the temple-keeper of your own I AM. Sit, vow, 'I offer my energy only to the I AM,' and feel the fidelity as real as any sensation in your body.
