Neville Goddard on Exodus 29:36-42 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Exodus 29 in context

Scripture Focus

36And thou shalt offer every day a bullock for a sin offering for atonement: and thou shalt cleanse the altar, when thou hast made an atonement for it, and thou shalt anoint it, to sanctify it.

37Seven days thou shalt make an atonement for the altar, and sanctify it; and it shall be an altar most holy: whatsoever toucheth the altar shall be holy.

38Now this is that which thou shalt offer upon the altar; two lambs of the first year day by day continually.

39The one lamb thou shalt offer in the morning; and the other lamb thou shalt offer at even:

40And with the one lamb a tenth deal of flour mingled with the fourth part of an hin of beaten oil; and the fourth part of an hin of wine for a drink offering.

41And the other lamb thou shalt offer at even, and shalt do thereto according to the meat offering of the morning, and according to the drink offering thereof, for a sweet savour, an offering made by fire unto the LORD.

42This shall be a continual burnt offering throughout your generations at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the LORD: where I will meet you, to speak there unto thee.

Exodus 29:36-42

Biblical Context

Exodus 29:36-42 outlines daily offerings and the sanctification of the altar, establishing a continual point of meeting with the LORD.

Neville's Inner Vision

Read as a psalm of your inner life, Exodus 29:36-42 invites you to treat your mind as an altar upon which daily states are offered. The bullock for sin is the old self you surrender, and cleansing the altar is the moment when attention is purified and oriented toward the I AM that you are. The seven days of atonement are the daily practice of setting your consciousness apart as holy, so that anything touching it—thoughts, fears, hopes—receives a sanctified quality. The two lambs, offered morning and evening, symbolize the recurring acts of pure suggestion you repeat: you align with a present tense assumption at dawn and reaffirm it at dusk. The flour, oil, and wine you mix with the first lamb represent nourishment and atmosphere for imagination—the practical ideas you feed on and the emotional energy you pour into the image of your fulfilled state. This, a sweet savour, is the offering made by fire unto the LORD: your inner conviction, felt as if already yours. And at the door of your tabernacle, I AM will meet you, speaking from within your own heart.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly and assume the state 'I am the I AM presence meeting me now at the door of my tabernacle.' Feel this meeting as real, letting it tint your thoughts and sensations for a minute.
