Neville Goddard on Exodus 12:39 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Exodus 12 in context

Scripture Focus

39And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they brought forth out of Egypt, for it was not leavened; because they were thrust out of Egypt, and could not tarry, neither had they prepared for themselves any victual.

Exodus 12:39

Biblical Context

The Israelites baked unleavened bread because they were hurried out of Egypt, having no time to let dough rise or gather supplies. This acts as a symbol of haste, escape, and purified sustenance.

Neville's Inner Vision

Here, the outward crust of bread is a symbol of inner conditions. Egypt is a state of bondage, the leaving is an interior shift, and unleavened bread represents purity and immediacy—no time for belief systems to ferment. They could not tarry; thus, the movement from bondage is an inner movement of consciousness. The I AM is the deliverer, not a distant event. When you read this, you are asked to accept that liberation is already present in your mindset. Bake unleavened cakes of mental dough with no leaven of doubt; you act with the awareness that you are now free. The dough comes from your current consciousness being squeezed into action by circumstance; the exodus is the turning of your attention away from the old story toward the present I AM. The act is not physical only but a state of mind you assume, and through imagination you feel the promised land already realized within.

Practice This Now

Practice: Close your eyes and in your mind assume I AM delivered now. Feel the inner freedom as real, and notice what changes as if you had left Egypt.
