Inner Genesis of a People

Exodus 1:1-7 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Exodus 1 in context

Scripture Focus

1Now these are the names of the children of Israel, which came into Egypt; every man and his household came with Jacob.
2Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah,
3Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin,
4Dan, and Naphtali, Gad, and Asher.
5And all the souls that came out of the loins of Jacob were seventy souls: for Joseph was in Egypt already.
6And Joseph died, and all his brethren, and all that generation.
7And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty; and the land was filled with them.
Exodus 1:1-7

Biblical Context

These verses trace Jacob’s family entering Egypt and the death of Joseph’s generation, then describe the Israelites becoming fruitful, multiplying, and taking hold in the land. They emphasize a new population and a flourishing presence within a changed environment.

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through the I AM, the names and numbers become inner dispositions and states of consciousness. 'These are the names' is the invitation to acknowledge the variegated facets of self that accompany a shift in awareness: every man and household entering Egypt with Jacob stands for the distinct qualities you bring into a larger field of awareness. Egypt is not a geographic constraint but a new environment of responsibility, where your thoughts are organized into a pool of experience. The death of Joseph and of that generation signals the release of the old self-image, the held memory that once anchored you to a smaller orbit. Yet the record also proclaims fruitfulness: the children of Israel grew, multiplied, and the land was filled with them — a vivid sign that your inner state, once settled and embraced, begins to organize your outward world. Remember: you are the I AM imagining. The multiplicity of 'seventy souls' is the complete inner population ready to manifest when belief aligns with the imagined truth. Practice confirms that inner abundance precedes outer form; your environment becomes a reflection of your present sense of being.

Practice This Now

Assume, right now, you are the I AM dwelling in a new inner land where your inner 'seventy souls' are thriving. Close your eyes and feel that abundance multiplying within you; declare softly, 'I AM abundant, I AM multiplied,' and let that state fill your day.
