Inner Garments of Divine Wealth
Exodus 28:5 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Exodus 28 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Exodus 28:5 commands the making of sacred garments from gold, blue, purple, scarlet, and fine linen; these are symbolic inner qualities that clothe the soul.
Neville's Inner Vision
Think of Exodus 28:5 as a map of your interior wardrobe. The gold is not bullion but the realized wealth of consciousness—the awareness that you are the I AM, the visible expression of God within. The blue represents faith and calm allegiance to the unseen order; it invites you to stand in the certainty that your inner life governs outer appearances. Purple speaks of royalty—the inherent dignity of your divine nature, a throne within you that is not dependent on another's approval. Scarlet carries vitality, heat, and the fiery impulse of life directed by your will rather than by fear. Linen stands for purity, clarity, and honest perception—unmixed, unmixed with doubt. When you take these elements in imagination, you are practicing the art of clothing your mind with a state, not collecting garments. Your present feeling becomes the material of form; your inner consistency crafts an outer reality. The verse asks you to bring these inner colors into your consciousness and wear them as covenant loyalty to the Presence within.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Close your eyes, assume you are clothed in gold, blue, purple, scarlet, and linen as your inner garment; feel the weight, texture, and royal presence, then dwell in that state for a minute.
