Neville Goddard on Exodus 2:13-15 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Exodus 2 in context

Scripture Focus

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.

15Now when Pharaoh heard this thing, he sought to slay Moses. But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of Midian: and he sat down by a well.

Exodus 2:13-15

Biblical Context

Moses steps into a quarrel between Hebrews, asking why the fight is happening. Fear arises when the other questions his authority, Pharaoh then seeks him, so Moses flees to Midian and sits by a well.

Neville's Inner Vision

Exodus 2:13-15 reads as a record of inner states, not only outer events. The quarrel between Hebrews embodies opposing impulses within you—justice and mercy, assertion and restraint—clamoring to govern your life. Moses, the I AM within, steps forward to arbitrate, yet the accusation Who made thee a prince and a judge over us? exposes the ego's fear of a power not granted by the old order. When Pharaoh hears of the act, the old king mobilizes its wrath, seeking to extinguish the new birth. Moses fleeing to Midian and sitting by a well marks a pause in action, a listening moment where the inner source can speak. Deliverance here comes not from fighting the world, but from recognizing you are the source of every authority you imagine ruling you. The vocation unfolds as you embody the inner governor, the I AM, whose quiet presence overrides the noise of conflict. As you reinterpret your scene, conflicts dissolve into reverent stillness, and your next chapter emerges from within, guided by inner kingship rather than outer threat.

Practice This Now

Assume the feeling that you are the I AM, the prince and judge of your life, and revise the scene so the conflict ends in calm command from within. Do this now by sitting quietly, breathing, and repeating 'I AM' as your true identity, letting the well of inner authority rise.
