Neville Goddard on Exodus 24:4-8 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Exodus 24 in context

Scripture Focus

4And Moses wrote all the words of the LORD, and rose up early in the morning, and builded an altar under the hill, and twelve pillars, according to the twelve tribes of Israel.

5And he sent young men of the children of Israel, which offered burnt offerings, and sacrificed peace offerings of oxen unto the LORD.

6And Moses took half of the blood, and put it in basons; and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar.

7And he took the book of the covenant, and read in the audience of the people: and they said, All that the LORD hath said will we do, and be obedient.

8And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, Behold the blood of the covenant, which the LORD hath made with you concerning all these words.

Exodus 24:4-8

Biblical Context

Moses records the LORD’s words, erects an altar with twelve pillars, offers sacrifices, reads the covenant, and the people vow obedience; Moses then sprinkles blood on the altar and the people to seal the covenant.

Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine the scene as an inner act of self-recognition. Moses writes the words of the LORD into your memory as a decree from the I AM, your real self. The altar represents the place where you fix your intention; the twelve pillars correspond to the twelve faculties of mind you consent to employ as your daily life. The burnt offerings and peace offerings symbolize what you are willing to give up and preserve to sustain the new state. Moses taking the blood and sprinkling on the altar and the people shows that your inner state and your outer self are joined—awareness and expression are one. Reading the book of the covenant is your inner program, and the people’s vow, All that the LORD hath said will we do, and be obedient, is your I AM aligning with that decree. When you declare the blood on the people is the covenant, you claim that your entire being is bathed in the Living Law. Practically, choose a specific decree, assume it now, and feel the inner state as already true, letting outward conditions follow.
