Neville Goddard on Exodus 16:14-15 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Exodus 16 in context

Scripture Focus

14And when the dew that lay was gone up, behold, upon the face of the wilderness there lay a small round thing, as small as the hoar frost on the ground.

15And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, It is manna: for they wist not what it was. And Moses said unto them, This is the bread which the LORD hath given you to eat.

Exodus 16:14-15

Biblical Context

Dew disappears and a small round sustenance appears in the wilderness. The people call it manna, and Moses identifies it as the bread the LORD has given to eat.

Neville's Inner Vision

Here the wilderness is the stage of your present consciousness and the dew that has vanished signifies the cessation of ordinary appearances. The small round thing that appears is not a historical crumb but inner nourishment showing up through your state of readiness. The people’s declaration, It is manna, is the crucial act of recognition that turns presence into provision. Moses’ line then points to the inner truth: the bread you behold is given by the LORD within your own consciousness. In Neville’s terms, the LORD is the I AM you awaken to as awareness; your imagination is the instrument by which this inner bread is made visible. The manna’s humble, unfamiliar form reminds you that provision often arrives without fanfare, yet it is real when accepted by faith in your current state of being. Do not chase the form; align with the fact that your I AM furnishes nourishment. When you identify with that state, the bread becomes your experience, proof that reality follows consciousness and imagination is the creative feed.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and imagine the dew vanishing, and a small round loaf appearing before you in clear symbol. Say softly this is the bread the LORD has given me to eat, and feel the nourishment as present.
