Neville Goddard on Exodus 12:8-10 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Exodus 12 in context

Scripture Focus

8And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs they shall eat it.

9Eat not of it raw, nor sodden at all with water, but roast with fire; his head with his legs, and with the purtenance thereof.

10And ye shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; and that which remaineth of it until the morning ye shall burn with fire.

Exodus 12:8-10

Biblical Context

Exodus 12:8-10 prescribes eating the Passover meal that night: roasted flesh, unleavened bread, and bitter herbs. It commands not to keep any leftovers until morning, which must be burned.

Neville's Inner Vision

Let Exodus 12:8-10 be read as an inner invitation, not a history lesson. The roast with fire becomes the heat of your attention, burning away old habits that no longer serve you. The unleavened bread stands for purity and immediacy—no leaven of doubt, no delay in acting on truth. The bitter herbs call you to recall what enslaved you, yet remembrance here serves to release, not to cling. The command that nothing be left until morning is a vow you make to let go of every trace of yesterday’s bondage before the new day dawns in your mind. As you dwell in this inner banquet, you are not performing for a distant deity but shifting your own consciousness into freedom. The event described is an ongoing rhythm of your life: you are the freed state, the I AM, tasting the promised land in the theater of your imagination; faith becomes a felt fact in present experience.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the feeling of liberation now: declare quietly, 'I AM the Passover of my mind' and imagine the fire burning away your old self; then taste the 'unleavened bread' of immediacy—no waiting—and let nothing linger till morning.
