Neville Goddard on Exodus 28:15-16 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Exodus 28 in context

Scripture Focus

15And thou shalt make the breastplate of judgment with cunning work; after the work of the ephod thou shalt make it; of gold, of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, and of fine twined linen, shalt thou make it.

16Foursquare it shall be being doubled; a span shall be the length thereof, and a span shall be the breadth thereof.

Exodus 28:15-16

Biblical Context

Exodus 28:15-16 commands a breastplate of judgment, crafted with specific colors and a square, doubled dimensions, to symbolize an inner boundary of discernment and covenant loyalty.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you, the breastplate of judgment is not armor against others but a disciplined state of consciousness. The cunning work and the work of the ephod invite you to imagine a divine pattern by which you order your life. The colors gold, blue, purple, scarlet, and linen are not mere hues but aspects of thought and feeling—worth, faith, majesty, vitality, and purity—woven into a square that is doubled, a span by a span. This is the measure, the boundary by which you distinguish truth from imagination, and the covenant loyalty you keep with the I AM. When you stand in this square you are not severed from God; you are defining what may enter your consciousness. This practice aligns you with the state of being that God is—the I AM you awaken to in every moment. If you revise a belief to fit that pattern, the plate thickens around your heart and your choices reflect the standard you have set within. Assume this state now, and let the world respond to your inner decision as reality.

Practice This Now

Assume the state: I am the one who discerns rightly, and in stillness visualize a doubled square breastplate across your chest; breathe into its boundary and revise any passing judgment to align with the divine pattern.
