Neville Goddard on Exodus 2:12-14 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Exodus 2 in context

Scripture Focus

12And he looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no man, he slew the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand.

13And when he went out the second day, behold, two men of the Hebrews strove together: and he said to him that did the wrong, Wherefore smitest thou thy fellow?

14And he said, Who made thee a prince and a judge over us? intendest thou to kill me, as thou killedst the Egyptian? And Moses feared, and said, Surely this thing is known.

Exodus 2:12-14

Biblical Context

Moses kills an Egyptian, hides the deed, and later intercedes between Hebrews, only to fear that his action will be known.

Neville's Inner Vision

All the outward scene is an inner drama. The Egyptian represents an old, oppressive impulse within; the sand is the unconscious where we bury guilt. Moses appears as the inner image of authority—an inner prince and judge—who tries to manage conflict by force. The second-day scene, where the Hebrews question his authority, mirrors the moment when our self-image is challenged by others’ projections, revealing how our sense of power is perceived. The fear that this thing is known is the fear of exposing hidden acts of the mind. The path to freedom is not external control but inner transformation: recognize you are the I AM, the witness and creator of your inner world. Let justice arise as a shift in self-image from reaction to conscious awareness, so inner conflicts resolve through insight rather than force.

Practice This Now

Assume the I AM now as the inner ruler; revise the scene by dissolving the old act and choosing a just, compassionate response in imagination, feeling the change as real.
