Inner Memorial Stones

Exodus 28:9-12 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Exodus 28 in context

Scripture Focus

9And thou shalt take two onyx stones, and grave on them the names of the children of Israel:
10Six of their names on one stone, and the other six names of the rest on the other stone, according to their birth.
11With the work of an engraver in stone, like the engravings of a signet, shalt thou engrave the two stones with the names of the children of Israel: thou shalt make them to be set in ouches of gold.
12And thou shalt put the two stones upon the shoulders of the ephod for stones of memorial unto the children of Israel: and Aaron shall bear their names before the LORD upon his two shoulders for a memorial.
Exodus 28:9-12

Biblical Context

The passage commands engraving the names of the twelve tribes on two onyx stones and placing them on Aaron's shoulders as a memorial before the LORD.

Neville's Inner Vision

In this text the names are not distant people; they are states of your own consciousness. The two onyx stones are the two poles of your attention, each inscribed with an aspect you choose to remember about yourself. Engraved like a signet, these names become durable impressions in the mineral of your inner life, so that by merely thinking of them you know who you are before God. The gold setting is the sacred container around that knowing; holiness is not in ceremony but in the attentional stance that says, I am this and no other thought. Aaron bearing the names before the LORD upon his shoulders is your own I AM bearing your remembered identities into consciousness, carried in the posture of awareness rather than as a burden to be solved. The covenant loyalty is your commitment to maintain God's purposes in your day, to honor your work and vocation by aligning every act with the inner revelation. Practice this now: imagine the two stones resting on your shoulders, feel their weight, and declare, I remember who I am in God.

Practice This Now

Imagine you carry two onyx stones bearing your inner names, resting on your shoulders with sacred weight. Speak or feel, I AM that I AM, remembering who I am in God.
