Neville Goddard on Exodus 10:16-17 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Exodus 10 in context

Scripture Focus

16Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron in haste; and he said, I have sinned against the LORD your God, and against you.

17Now therefore forgive, I pray thee, my sin only this once, and intreat the LORD your God, that he may take away from me this death only.

Exodus 10:16-17

Biblical Context

Pharaoh confesses his sin and pleads for forgiveness, asking to remove the plague, symbolizing a shift of inner state.

Neville's Inner Vision

Pharaoh’s outward confession mirrors a deeper inner revelation: a shift that must occur in consciousness, not in a distant king. When he says, I have sinned against the LORD your God, and against you, he is naming a misalignment with the I AM within. The plea, forgive my sin only this once, is the longing to revise a memory of bondage and fear, to interrupt the habitual death that follows a wrong turning. In this story, the Lord you God is the living I AM, the awareness that cannot be compromised by guilt, and Moses and Aaron are not external rulers but the two faculties of mind—imagining and willing—that intercede with the divine presence inside. The request to take away this death is a request to release the old state from the inner atmosphere, to collapse the energy that binds you to limitation. The scene invites you to wake to the truth that forgiveness is already given when you reidentify with the I AM and refuse the old script. Your confession is your revision; your mercy is your recognizing that you never left the real self.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Sit quietly, assume the I AM as your present awareness, and revise your memory with 'I am forgiven.' Feel the relief until the fear of death is released.
