Exodus 23:6-7

Biblical Context

Exodus 23:6-7 commands that you do not twist the poor's case and that you stay far from false matters. It also warns you not to justify the wicked.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Exodus 23:6-7, I hear the decree as the voice of the inner court where the I AM sits in supreme discernment. The poor you meet in your world is the symbol of a state of fairness you are choosing to inhabit. To not wrest the judgment is to refuse the habit of doubting the verdict the I AM has already set in consciousness. To keep far from a false matter is to cleanse perception until nothing but exact truth remains. The innocent and righteous are not others; they are the alignment of your inner being with divine law, while the wicked is the belief that truth can be compromised for convenience. When you realise the I AM will not justify the wicked, you see that you are not called to defend deceit in any form. By assuming a state of perfect equity-feeling it as real—you watch events in your life rearrange to reflect that inner verdict, and you live in harmony with truth's steady justice.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly and declare, I AM the just judge in my inner court. Revise any belief of unfairness as a projection of my state of consciousness, and feel the truth as already real, allowing life to reflect that inner verdict.
