Neville Goddard on Deuteronomy 9:9-11 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Deuteronomy 9 in context

Scripture Focus

9When I was gone up into the mount to receive the tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant which the LORD made with you, then I abode in the mount forty days and forty nights, I neither did eat bread nor drink water:

10And the LORD delivered unto me two tables of stone written with the finger of God; and on them was written according to all the words, which the LORD spake with you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly.

11And it came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights, that the LORD gave me the two tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant.

Deuteronomy 9:9-11

Biblical Context

Moses goes up to receive the two tables of stone—the covenant—and spends forty days and nights on the mountain; the event centers on the law inscribed by God.

Neville's Inner Vision

On the mount you are the I AM made visible to yourself. The forty days and nights mark unwavering inner attention; the tablet of stone becomes the unchangeable conditions you affirm in consciousness. The two tables are not relics of history but two fixed truths written by the finger of God—the immutable statements you now assent to as your own reality. When you read those words in awareness, you hear 'thus saith the LORD' as the voice of your own superconscious mind delivering your life’s order. The covenant is the promise that you belong to the Life that has no limits, and obedience is the loyalty of your imagination to that life. Every moment you dwell in the I AM, you inscribe those laws anew, and the outer world must reflect your inner decree. So revise fear, adjust your self-image, and feel it real now. The history you once believed is replaced by the inner certainty that the covenant is already established within you.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, assume you already possess the covenant; feel the tablets in your hands as lines of truth; repeat, 'I am the I AM, and this covenant is mine now' for 5–10 minutes.
