Neville Goddard on Exodus 29:1-3 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Exodus 29 in context

Scripture Focus

1And this is the thing that thou shalt do unto them to hallow them, to minister unto me in the priest's office: Take one young bullock, and two rams without blemish,

2And unleavened bread, and cakes unleavened tempered with oil, and wafers unleavened anointed with oil: of wheaten flour shalt thou make them.

3And thou shalt put them into one basket, and bring them in the basket, with the bullock and the two rams.

Exodus 29:1-3

Biblical Context

Exodus 29:1-3 prescribes a ceremonial act to consecrate the priests, offering a bullock, two rams, and unleavened bread to symbolize pure devotion and holy service to God. It points to holiness, separation, and dedicated service to God.

Neville's Inner Vision

Exodus 29:1-3 speaks not to animals on an altar, but to the sanctuary of your own mind. The bullock is your unwavering attention—a fixed, disciplined state you hold at the altar of awareness. The two rams symbolize two sacred faculties you commit to service: intention and faith, or any paired gifts you bring to your inner priesthood. The unleavened bread and wafers, tempered with oil, point to thoughts and feelings pure and unaltered by ego, anointed with the light of consciousness. Placed together in one basket and brought before the interior presence, these offerings show how you gather and consecrate inner states so they may minister to God within. The act of hallowing is the recognition that you are the I AM—the priest through whom your inner kingdom speaks to the world you are creating by belief. When you assume and feel as if these pure states are real, your life begins to reorganize to reflect the consciousness you sustain.

Practice This Now

Practice: Sit still, close your eyes, and in your imagination assemble the bullock and two rams in a basket with unleavened bread and oil; bring them to your inner altar and declare, 'I am the I AM, and I consecrate this moment.' Then feel the truth as though it already is.
