Restitution as Inner Vision

Exodus 22:4-6 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Exodus 22 in context

Scripture Focus

4If the theft be certainly found in his hand alive, whether it be ox, or ass, or sheep; he shall restore double.
5If a man shall cause a field or vineyard to be eaten, and shall put in his beast, and shall feed in another man's field; of the best of his own field, and of the best of his own vineyard, shall he make restitution.
6If fire break out, and catch in thorns, so that the stacks of corn, or the standing corn, or the field, be consumed therewith; he that kindled the fire shall surely make restitution.
Exodus 22:4-6

Biblical Context

Exodus 22:4-6 commands that a thief must restore what was taken, and damage caused by fire or other means must be repaired. The core is responsibility expressed through restitution.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the text lies a law of inner economy: the theft and the fire are not external acts alone but movements of consciousness. When you sense loss in your life, you are invited to restore not merely property but inner balance by assuming the state that the loss never occurred. The doubling of restitution points to a consciousness that refuses scarcity and chooses abundance by imagination. The fields and vineyards symbolize your faculties—wisdom and affection—restored to their rightful owner under your own I AM. To the one who kindled a fire, do not plead guilt in the world; revise the scene until you feel the remedy as actual now: you have paid back, you have healed, you have reset the conditions so that only growth remains. By this inner act, your outer environment aligns with the new memory and the law of return works itself out in the form of renewed circumstance. See that what you call 'restored' is first your inner harmony; the outer account follows.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the final state: you have already restored double what was taken and repaired every hurt. Feel the relief and gratitude as if the field is thriving under your care, because imagination has set the condition into being.
