Exodus 22:2-3 Inner Restitution Vision
Exodus 22:2-3 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Exodus 22 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The passage presents a stance on justice: if a thief is caught while breaking in and dies, there is no blood guilt; if the sun rises on him, restitution is required, and if nothing remains to restore, he is sold for his theft.
Neville's Inner Vision
In Neville Goddard’s voice, the thief embodies a restless impulse within your consciousness—fear, lack, or a harmful habit. When that impulse is confronted and dies in the moment of decision, you witness a psychological death of separation. The rising sun of awareness reveals a deeper law: in true consciousness there is no final loss, only the opportunity to restore balance by voluntary restitution. If there is nothing left to restore, you drift into another identification, a new self-image birthed by the old theft. The blood shed is the false guilt that tightens you; when you awaken to the I AM, you realize you are the lawmaker, the judge, and the Restorer. Your righteousness is not punitive but clarifying—an alignment with what preserves harmony. Practice in the now: imagine you have already paid back or restored all you took, and feel the state of wholeness returning to your mind.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and revise the inner scene: see the thief of impulse being confronted by the rising sun of awareness, and imagine you have already made full restitution in your mind; then rest in the felt sense of restored harmony.
