Neville Goddard on Exodus 12:21-23 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Exodus 12 in context

Scripture Focus

21Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said unto them, Draw out and take you a lamb according to your families, and kill the passover.

22And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the bason, and strike the lintel and the two side posts with the blood that is in the bason; and none of you shall go out at the door of his house until the morning.

23For the LORD will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the LORD will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you.

Exodus 12:21-23

Biblical Context

Moses instructs the elders to enact a Passover rite: draw out a lamb for each family, kill it, and apply its blood to the doorposts, then remain indoors until morning.

Neville's Inner Vision

Here the Israelites symbolize a state of consciousness, and the elders embody the inner authorities of your mind. The commanded lamb stands for a higher truth you are ready to identify with; to kill the Passover is to release an old fear-based story from your inner life. The hyssop and the blood on the lintel and posts indicate a deliberate act of cleansing, a stamping of truth on the thresholds of your awareness. The sign of blood is not external to you but a faith-feeling you carry in the I AM. When you see the blood on the lintel, you are proclaiming: my awareness, God within, protects this house. The Lord passing through and passing over represents your I AM moving through your mental house and sparing you from what you once feared; the destroyer cannot enter where this sign is kept. Salvation, then, is not an outside rescue but a reinvestment of consciousness, a covenant kept within the heart by steady attention to the I AM. Your inner household is saved as you dwell in the certainty of God within.

Practice This Now

Assume you are already protected by the I AM; visualize blood on your inner doorposts and feel the guard of consciousness. Revise fear by repeating 'I AM, I AM' until the scene feels real.
