Sacred Boundaries On Sinai

Exodus 19:23-24 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Exodus 19 in context

Scripture Focus

23And Moses said unto the LORD, The people cannot come up to mount Sinai: for thou chargedst us, saying, Set bounds about the mount, and sanctify it.
24And the LORD said unto him, Away, get thee down, and thou shalt come up, thou, and Aaron with thee: but let not the priests and the people break through to come up unto the LORD, lest he break forth upon them.
Exodus 19:23-24

Biblical Context

The people cannot ascend Sinai; a holy boundary must guard the sacred mount. Moses, with Aaron, is allowed to ascend, while the priests and the people must not breach the boundary lest the Lord's presence break forth.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the Neville lens, Sinai is your inner mount, a state of consciousness consecrated by attention. The boundary set about the mount is the discipline you place on your thoughts and feelings to keep the sacred encounter from being profaned by agitation. The office of Moses and Aaron represents the custodians of order—your disciplined mind and its faithful ministers—who may ascend only when you have sanctified the base of your experience. The warning that the priests and the people must not break through is the inner reminder that intrusion of undisciplined desire or fear will disrupt the living presence. The Lord's command to go down and then come up with Aaron suggests that ascent is not a single impulsive lift but a deliberate, repeated alignment: you descend into ordinary life to re-anchor, then re-ascend in the awareness of I AM. When you keep faithfulness to this boundary, the Presence enters as a stable inner reality rather than a dramatic external display. Your state of consciousness grows holy by practiced obedience to the inner boundary.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes, assume you are the I AM on the sacred mount. Envision drawing a clear circle of light around your inner sanctuary and feel the presence steady within as you repeat, 'Only what is sanctified may ascend.'
