Neville Goddard on Exodus 30:30-31 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Exodus 30 in context

Scripture Focus

30And thou shalt anoint Aaron and his sons, and consecrate them, that they may minister unto me in the priest's office.

31And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, This shall be an holy anointing oil unto me throughout your generations.

Exodus 30:30-31

Biblical Context

Exodus 30:30-31 commands anointing and consecration of Aaron and his sons to minister unto God. It designates this holy oil for sacred use throughout generations.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this injunction lies not a distant ritual but a declaration of your inner state. The anointing oil stands for your awareness—the I AM that sanctifies and sets apart thoughts, feelings, and habits for sacred function within. When you imagine Aaron and his sons being consecrated, you are awakening the priest within—your inner faculties prepared to minister to the Divine Presence in every moment. The command to minister unto me in the priest's office becomes your decision to live from awareness rather than from a conditioned self. Let the oil be your felt sense of being chosen, a continuous consecration rather than a single event; generations here mean timeless principles that recur as you persist in this stance. Your inner world becomes the sanctuary through which God speaks and acts; see the oil as the felt certainty that you belong to the sacred, right now, and always.

Practice This Now

Assume you are already consecrated and anointed; feel the oil of awareness flowing through your mind as you intend to serve God within. Repeat gently: I AM the priest within; I minister to the divine in all I do.
