Neville Goddard on Exodus 33:7 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Exodus 33 in context

Scripture Focus

7And Moses took the tabernacle, and pitched it without the camp, afar off from the camp, and called it the Tabernacle of the congregation. And it came to pass, that every one which sought the LORD went out unto the tabernacle of the congregation, which was without the camp.

Exodus 33:7

Biblical Context

Moses takes the Tabernacle outside the camp, and those who seek the LORD go out to it.

Neville's Inner Vision

Here we glimpse that Moses pitches a dwelling outside the camp, not to move God away but to move attention inward. The Tabernacle of the congregation becomes a symbol of the inner state I call the I AM—awareness itself, the space where imagination can re-script experience. The camp represents the outer bustle of fear, habit, and appearances; going to the tabernacle is a deliberate withdrawal into a sanctuary of consciousness. When you truly seek the LORD, you do not petition a distant deity; you step into a ready-made Presence within and begin to live from it. The movement is interior, not geographic: you revise the circumstances by assuming the feeling of the wish fulfilled until the mind accepts the end already achieved, and then life aligns. What you seek appears as if it had always been so, because the outer world is only the echo of your inner state. The key is a steady, warm turning away from the camp toward the tabernacle inside, where God is present, and you are truly home.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Sit in stillness for a few minutes and imagine stepping from the camp of daily noise into the Tabernacle within you. Assume the presence as already yours and feel it real, letting the I AM guide your next thought.
