Neville Goddard on Exodus 12:21-27 - 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.

24And ye shall observe this thing for an ordinance to thee and to thy sons for ever.

25And it shall come to pass, when ye be come to the land which the LORD will give you, according as he hath promised, that ye shall keep this service.

26And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you, What mean ye by this service?

27That ye shall say, It is the sacrifice of the LORD's passover, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the Egyptians, and delivered our houses. And the people bowed the head and worshipped.

Exodus 12:21-27

Biblical Context

Moses instructs Israel's elders to slaughter a lamb and mark their doors with blood, stay inside until morning, and when the Lord passes over, it becomes an enduring sign for future generations to teach their children.

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider Exodus 12:21-27 as a map of your inner state. The lamb is the sacrificed belief that you no longer identify with the old bondage of fear. The blood on the lintel and doorposts is the conscious seal you place on your thresholds, a state of awareness that says I AM present here. When you imagine the blood, you are not performing a rite for antiquity but waking a condition of mind. The destroyer is doubt; salvation is the moment your attention refuses the old narrative and stays with the new assumption. To keep this service forever is to keep a recurring practice of remembrance, so that when your children of imagination inquire What mean ye by this service you answer with the memory that you once escaped and are free. Your present drama becomes the Egypt you have left behind, and the future land your state is already inhabiting through what you believe now.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and declare that the blood on the doorposts of your life is belief in I AM here. Hold the assumption and feel it real until the sense of bondage dissolves and a new, free state remains.
