Neville Goddard on Deuteronomy 31:9-13 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Deuteronomy 31 in context

Scripture Focus

9And Moses wrote this law, and delivered it unto the priests the sons of Levi, which bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and unto all the elders of Israel.

10And Moses commanded them, saying, At the end of every seven years, in the solemnity of the year of release, in the feast of tabernacles,

11When all Israel is come to appear before the LORD thy God in the place which he shall choose, thou shalt read this law before all Israel in their hearing.

12Gather the people together, men, and women, and children, and thy stranger that is within thy gates, that they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear the LORD your God, and observe to do all the words of this law:

13And that their children, which have not known any thing, may hear, and learn to fear the LORD your God, as long as ye live in the land whither ye go over Jordan to possess it.

Deuteronomy 31:9-13

Biblical Context

Moses writes the law, delivers it to the priests and elders, and commands a public reading so all Israel may hear. The aim is that every generation—men, women, children, and strangers—learn to fear the LORD and observe the words of this law.

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice how the scene moves from parchment to inner life. The law Moses writes is not merely a script; it is a decree your I AM, the I AM of you, pronounces into your day. The priests and Levi are the inner functions bearing the ark of your covenant with God, carrying your decided truth. When the people gather before the LORD in the place you choose within, you gather your own faculties to hear in your hearing. The seven-year cadence becomes the rhythm of attention returning to the root decision. Read this law aloud to all Israel—the skeptic, the lover, the child within, the stranger at your gates—so every part of you can hear, learn, and fear the LORD your God. The aim is clear: observe to do all the words of this law, embody the decree in feeling and action. When the inner child hears and the inner stranger accepts, the I AM is established in your land of consciousness, now and here.

Practice This Now

Imagine you are Moses writing this inner law and delivering it to the inner priests, then read it aloud before your entire inner Israel. Feel it real now: let the decree settle in your chest as a direct measure of your consciousness, and revise until your life mirrors the law.
