Inner Stewardship of Trust

Exodus 22:10-13 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Exodus 22 in context

Scripture Focus

10If a man deliver unto his neighbour an ass, or an ox, or a sheep, or any beast, to keep; and it die, or be hurt, or driven away, no man seeing it:
11Then shall an oath of the LORD be between them both, that he hath not put his hand unto his neighbour's goods; and the owner of it shall accept thereof, and he shall not make it good.
12And if it be stolen from him, he shall make restitution unto the owner thereof.
13If it be torn in pieces, then let him bring it for witness, and he shall not make good that which was torn.
Exodus 22:10-13

Biblical Context

Plainly: when you leave a neighbor’s animal with them and it dies, is harmed, or disappears unseen, an oath confirms you did not touch what belongs to the neighbor; if stolen, restitution is required; if torn, bring witness and you are not obliged to replace the torn portion.

Neville's Inner Vision

All the verses speak not of property as mere stuff but of your inner arrangements. When you deliver to your neighbor an image of keeping, imagine you are lending a trust within your own consciousness—the two sides of the I AM agreeing on stewardship. If that image dies, is hurt, or wanders unseen, an inner oath arises between the states: you have not touched what belongs to the Other in you. The oath binds your attention to honesty and restores harmony without forcing outcomes. If the image seems stolen from your mental fabric, restitution is the act of returning order to the whole and aligning thought, feeling, and deed with the good of the Self. If it is torn apart, bring witness—acknowledge the breach, and do not attempt to repair by force; let the mind witness the event and allow balance to return. Thus every external event mirrors your inner covenant: act with integrity, revise your assumptions, and feel in the heart that the I AM keeps all goods safe through your disciplined awareness.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Sit quietly and declare I am the keeper of all goods entrusted to my neighbor in consciousness; I have not touched what belongs to the Other in me. If loss or damage appears, revise your thought to align with this inner covenant and feel the restoration as real.
