Neville Goddard on Deuteronomy 25:13-19 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Deuteronomy 25 in context

Scripture Focus

13Thou shalt not have in thy bag divers weights, a great and a small.

14Thou shalt not have in thine house divers measures, a great and a small.

15But thou shalt have a perfect and just weight, a perfect and just measure shalt thou have: that thy days may be lengthened in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

16For all that do such things, and all that do unrighteously, are an abomination unto the LORD thy God.

17Remember what Amalek did unto thee by the way, when ye were come forth out of Egypt;

18How he met thee by the way, and smote the hindmost of thee, even all that were feeble behind thee, when thou wast faint and weary; and he feared not God.

19Therefore it shall be, when the LORD thy God hath given thee rest from all thine enemies round about, in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance to possess it, that thou shalt blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven; thou shalt not forget it.

Deuteronomy 25:13-19

Biblical Context

The passage requires honest weights and measures, condemns cheating as abominable, and links righteous exchange to long life in the land. It also instructs recalling Amalek so that memory is blotted out when you rest in God’s land.

Neville's Inner Vision

To read this through a Neville lens, see the 'bag' and 'measures' as the contents and judgments of consciousness. The weights you use in your inner economy are beliefs about yourself and the world. If you pretend to advantage by keeping a 'great and small' in your thought, you invite inner conflict and shorten your days through restless vibration. A perfect and just weight is alignment with the I AM—the one universal standard that stands as your true currency. By imagining and feeling that every act is measured by this standard, you restore order to your inner life and lengthen the days of your mental land. Amalek’s memory points to fears and past hurts that surface when you are weary; rather than feed them, you blot them out by returning to the truth that you are one with divine order. Resting in the land is not escape but the stable state of awareness where all actions flow from the I AM. In that state, the outer world becomes the faithful outward sign of inner justice, and your life unfolds with consistent integrity.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Sit quietly and declare, 'I am the perfect and just measure in all my affairs.' Visualize a single true weight resting in your hand and, for the next few minutes, revise any inner scene so every exchange reflects that standard; feel the certainty of living in alignment with the I AM.
