Neville Goddard on Deuteronomy 29:7-8 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Deuteronomy 29 in context

Scripture Focus

7And when ye came unto this place, Sihon the king of Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, came out against us unto battle, and we smote them:

8And we took their land, and gave it for an inheritance unto the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to the half tribe of Manasseh.

Deuteronomy 29:7-8

Biblical Context

It records Israel's defeat of Sihon and Og and the allocation of land as an inheritance for the Reubenites, Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh. It frames the events as the experience of deliverance and covenant loyalty.

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through the I AM, Deuteronomy 29:7–8 dissolves the outer battle into an inward conquest. Sihon and Og are not distant kings but personifications of resisting thoughts within your mind. When you accept that you already possess the land, you enter covenant loyalty—the inner agreement that awareness is king and you are its steward. The smiting of the enemies becomes the overcoming of fear, doubt, and limitation by practicing living imagination. The land claimed is your inner consciousness; the Reubenites, Gadites, and Manasseh are the faculties—will, understanding, and memory—each inheriting its portion as you decide to dwell in the victorious state. Deliverance is a continuous act of consciousness, not a bygone event. By assuming the feeling of the wish fulfilled, you unlock the liberation and provision that flows from your I AM and make the promised territory yours in the present moment.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume you are already living in the land you seek; feel the settled joy of possession as if it were now yours. Rest in that feeling for a few breaths.
