Neville Goddard on Deuteronomy 3:11-12 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Deuteronomy 3 in context

Scripture Focus

11For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of giants; behold, his bedstead was a bedstead of iron; is it not in Rabbath of the children of Ammon? nine cubits was the length thereof, and four cubits the breadth of it, after the cubit of a man.

12And this land, which we possessed at that time, from Aroer, which is by the river Arnon, and half mount Gilead, and the cities thereof, gave I unto the Reubenites and to the Gadites.

Deuteronomy 3:11-12

Biblical Context

Og, the last giant, is noted; Israel possessed land from Aror to half Mount Gilead and gave it to the Reubenites and Gadites. The passage marks conquest and the allocation of inner territory to specific tribes.

Neville's Inner Vision

Og is not a distant battle but the last vestige of a mind-state blocking your inner kingdom. The iron bedstead symbolizes stubborn beliefs about impossibility—thoughts that cling to 'fact' rather than the living truth of I AM. Rabbath by the river Arnon and half Mount Gilead mark the borders you’ve conceded to your present consciousness; they are the currents and cliffs of thought you’ve allowed to define you. Yet the text says the land was possessed and given to the Reubenites and Gadites. In Neville’s terms, Reuben and Gad are your inner faculties—receptivity and action—through which you claim the inner country. To possess the land is to adopt a state of consciousness as your own now, not as a distant reward. The act is alignment with the I AM, the awareness that you rule this inner realm. When you stand in that awareness, the remnant giant dissolves and you live from the kingdom that is already yours.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and affirm, 'I AM that I AM; this inner land is mine now.' Revise any sense of limitation by picturing Og's iron bedstead dissolving into light, then feel yourself ruling from the land you claim.
