Neville Goddard on Exodus 29:22-28 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Exodus 29 in context

Scripture Focus

22Also thou shalt take of the ram the fat and the rump, and the fat that covereth the inwards, and the caul above the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, and the right shoulder; for it is a ram of consecration:

23And one loaf of bread, and one cake of oiled bread, and one wafer out of the basket of the unleavened bread that is before the LORD:

24And thou shalt put all in the hands of Aaron, and in the hands of his sons; and shalt wave them for a wave offering before the LORD.

25And thou shalt receive them of their hands, and burn them upon the altar for a burnt offering, for a sweet savour before the LORD: it is an offering made by fire unto the LORD.

26And thou shalt take the breast of the ram of Aaron's consecration, and wave it for a wave offering before the LORD: and it shall be thy part.

27And thou shalt sanctify the breast of the wave offering, and the shoulder of the heave offering, which is waved, and which is heaved up, of the ram of the consecration, even of that which is for Aaron, and of that which is for his sons:

28And it shall be Aaron's and his sons' by a statute for ever from the children of Israel: for it is an heave offering: and it shall be an heave offering from the children of Israel of the sacrifice of their peace offerings, even their heave offering unto the LORD.

Exodus 29:22-28

Biblical Context

Exodus 29:22-28 details offerings: a ram with its parts and bread is waved and burned as consecration, and Aaron and his sons receive portions. These acts embody holiness, sacrifice, and covenant loyalty.

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through the Neville lens, the ram is not a beast but a symbol of your inner vitality, and the parts represent the states of your consciousness you are willing to surrender to the fire of awareness. The fat, the kidneys, the caul, and the right shoulder are not external flesh but your thoughts, fears, and habits you offer to the I AM. When you wave the offering before the Lord, you practice the art of imagining your own consecration, not for ritual approval but as proof to yourself that your inner life is being sanctified. Aaron and his sons symbolize the faculties within you—will, imagination, and speech—that receive and carry the gift, turning it into a steadfast portion of daily life. The grain bread and oil wafer remind you that nourishment and clarity come from your union with the Source. This entire ceremony is a statute for ever because it marks a permanent decision: loyalty to the covenant within. By realizing the act in imagination, you awaken a reality that matches your inner state—holiness, peace, and devoted purpose.

Practice This Now

Practice: sit quietly and imagine placing the parts of the ram before your I AM as your current thoughts and habits, then wave them as an offering until their pull on you softens. Say I am consecrated to holy purpose and rest in the felt sense of this inner covenant.
