Neville Goddard on Exodus 17:11-13 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Exodus 17 in context

Scripture Focus

11And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.

12But Moses' hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.

13And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.

Exodus 17:11-13

Biblical Context

Moses raises his hands to seek divine help; when his hands stay up, Israel prevails, but when they fall, Amalek prevails. With support from Aaron and Hur, his posture remains until sunset, and Joshua defeats Amalek.

Neville's Inner Vision

Moses' raised hands symbolize the state of consciousness—holding attention in the I AM. Amalek represents doubt and resistance that gain ground when focus weakens; Joshua is the action of your inner will aligned with imagination. The stone under Moses indicates grounding in the present moment, a fixed point of awareness you can return to. Aaron and Hur are your two steady faculties—faith and persistence—holding your awareness up on each side so the vibrational current stays uplifted until the day is won. The victory is not merely a battle won but a shift in consciousness: when you maintain the upward posture of the I AM, you disarm outer appearances by the power of inner agreement. Let this scene teach you to revise any dwindling belief, to imagine the outcome as already real, and to practice steadfast inner attention until your inner Joshua manifests outward triumph.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, adopt the posture of Moses with hands raised in unwavering awareness, place a mental stone beneath you for steadiness, and invite your inner Aaron and Hur (faith and persistence) to support the hold—then feel the victory as your sun sets.
