Inner Firstfruits Covenant

Exodus 22:29-30 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Exodus 22 in context

Scripture Focus

29Thou shalt not delay to offer the first of thy ripe fruits, and of thy liquors: the firstborn of thy sons shalt thou give unto me.
30Likewise shalt thou do with thine oxen, and with thy sheep: seven days it shall be with his dam; on the eighth day thou shalt give it me.
Exodus 22:29-30

Biblical Context

It commands offering the first ripe fruits and the firstborn. It requires the oxen and sheep to be given after seven days with their dam.

Neville's Inner Vision

Let this decree unlock the truth that the first fruits and firstborn you offer are not out there in the world, but within your state of consciousness. Do not delay; in imagination, the I AM receives your first thought and feeling immediately, for imagination is the lifeblood of reality. Feel it real: the act of imagining establishes the outer by the inner. The firstfruits symbolize your initial, unguarded impulses—your first idea of wealth, success, or love—placed on the altar of awareness. The seven days with the dam symbolize a period of inner refinement; allow these impulses to mature in consciousness, and on the eighth day, they are birthed as lived reality. By presenting the 'firstborn' of your mind—the newest state, the newest decision—you acknowledge the inner covenant: your loyalty to the I AM. When you treat this inward act as sacred, your outer life aligns to reflect the inner commitment. The text thus becomes a guide to practical faithfulness: you choose the state you desire and grant it the honor of having come forth from your own I AM.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Assume you have already offered the firstfruits of your day to the I AM. Feel the inner gratitude and see your life harmonize with that choice, letting the new state birth through you.
