Neville Goddard on Exodus 11:1-6 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Exodus 11 in context

Scripture Focus

1And the LORD said unto Moses, Yet will I bring one plague more upon Pharaoh, and upon Egypt; afterwards he will let you go hence: when he shall let you go, he shall surely thrust you out hence altogether.

2Speak now in the ears of the people, and let every man borrow of his neighbour, and every woman of her neighbour, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold.

3And the LORD gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians. Moreover the man Moses was very great in the land of Egypt, in the sight of Pharaoh's servants, and in the sight of the people.

4And Moses said, Thus saith the LORD, About midnight will I go out into the midst of Egypt:

5And all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the first born of Pharaoh that sitteth upon his throne, even unto the firstborn of the maidservant that is behind the mill; and all the firstborn of beasts.

6And there shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Egypt, such as there was none like it, nor shall be like it any more.

Exodus 11:1-6

Biblical Context

God announces one final plague on Pharaoh and Egypt. The people are instructed to borrow wealth from their neighbors, and at midnight the exodus begins, accompanied by the death of the firstborn and a cry that signals liberation.

Neville's Inner Vision

To me, the Lord is the I AM within you, the unwavering awareness that never sleeps. The Egypt is your mind clinging to separation, and the final plague is a purging of deep-seated belief that you are poor, powerless, or bound. When the text says the people borrow jewels, imagine yourself taking from the subconscious stores of abundance you already are, coins and light that you did not before claim as yours. The favor Moses enjoys, the seeming approval of the world, is simply your inner alignment—the moment when your mind begins to flow with a sense of rightness toward your exodus. Midnight is not a clock but a point of turning in consciousness, the moment you switch from lack-consciousness to the realization that you are the Lord in the midst of your own Egypt. The death of the firstborn represents releasing the old born fears and views, the birth of the new idea that you are no longer bound. And the great cry is the birth-pain of this transformation, signaling freedom now established in your own state.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Tonight, rest in the I AM, assume you are already beyond lack and limitation, and feel the exodus as your present fact. Visualize drawing from your inner bank of jewels, welcoming the new freedom with gratitude.
