Neville Goddard on Deuteronomy 33:8-11 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Deuteronomy 33 in context

Scripture Focus

8And of Levi he said, Let thy Thummim and thy Urim be with thy holy one, whom thou didst prove at Massah, and with whom thou didst strive at the waters of Meribah;

9Who said unto his father and to his mother, I have not seen him; neither did he acknowledge his brethren, nor knew his own children: for they have observed thy word, and kept thy covenant.

10They shall teach Jacob thy judgments, and Israel thy law: they shall put incense before thee, and whole burnt sacrifice upon thine altar.

11Bless, LORD, his substance, and accept the work of his hands: smite through the loins of them that rise against him, and of them that hate him, that they rise not again.

Deuteronomy 33:8-11

Biblical Context

Levi is blessed as the holy one who keeps God's word and covenant; his tribe shall teach judgments and law, offering incense and burnt offerings, while God blesses their substance and defends their work.

Neville's Inner Vision

Levi in this text is not a distant tribe but the state of consciousness that loyally keeps covenant with the I AM. The Thummim and Urim are your inner faculties—discernment and confirmation—placed with the holy self you have proved in the inner Massah and Meribah. When you align with thy word and keep the covenant, you cease chasing outer proofs and move by the inner witness. The Massah and Meribah scenes are inner tests where you chose appearances over truth, and Levi teaches by remaining true to the law written on your heart. He shall teach Jacob thy judgments and Israel thy law not as external rules but as the living pattern within you; incense is your focused prayer, the whole burnt offering your complete devotion offered on the altar of your own heart. Bless, LORD, your substance—the inner wealth of ideas, vitality, and skilled doing—by affirming the work of your hands. Let any opposition dissolve as you dwell in the I AM, secure that you carry the covenant wherever you go. This is the inner kingdom arriving as your consciousness aligns with its divine word.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and declare, I am the holy one; Thummim and Urim are with me. Visualize an inner temple where judgments and law are taught, and revise any sense of lack by affirming the covenant here and now.
