Neville Goddard on Exodus 16:1-3 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Exodus 16 in context

Scripture Focus

1And they took their journey from Elim, and all the congregation of the children of Israel came unto the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departing out of the land of Egypt.

2And the whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness:

3And the children of Israel said unto them, Would to God we had died by the hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh pots, and when we did eat bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger.

Exodus 16:1-3

Biblical Context

Plain summary: In Exodus 16:1-3, the Israelites leave Elim and enter the wilderness of Sin. They murmur against Moses and Aaron, longing for Egypt's food and complaining that they are hungry in the wilderness.

Neville's Inner Vision

Your script reveals a moment when your inner I AM is not yet trusted. The wilderness is not a real place of punishment but a state of consciousness you enter when you forget who you are. The murmuring crowd represents your ego clinging to the past—Egypt’s so-called nourishment—while the ache of hunger is simply a reminder to awaken to the abundance that already dwells within. Hunger in this light is a signal to shift attention, not a decree of deprivation. The miracle here comes as you choose to identify with the I AM rather than the perception of lack: when you affirm, I AM fed by the bread of life within, you align your seeing with the source of all supply. Your sense of separation dissolves as you realize you are both the seer and the seen. Then the inner manna—insight, guidance, and manifestation—appears as you hold steady in the conviction that you are always nourished by your own consciousness. The journey from complaint to trust is the path back to grace and Providence within.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly, close your eyes, breathe, and assume the feeling I am fed now by the bread of life within. Then revise any sense of hunger as I hunger for nothing, for all nourishment flows from my I AM. Repeat until you feel fullness and inner peace.
