Inner Offerings and Light Within

Exodus 35:27-28 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Exodus 35 in context

Scripture Focus

27And the rulers brought onyx stones, and stones to be set, for the ephod, and for the breastplate;
28And spice, and oil for the light, and for the anointing oil, and for the sweet incense.
Exodus 35:27-28

Biblical Context

The verses describe rulers offering precious stones and spices, with oil for light, anointing, and incense to support the sacred service. These offerings symbolize the materials and rituals used to honor sacred presence.

Neville's Inner Vision

Do you see that the stones and oils are not things outside you, but states you awaken? In this scene, the rulers of old are only the thoughts and faculties of your own consciousness presenting resources you've always possessed. The onyx stones arise as fixed convictions, the stones set for the ephod and breastplate become the ordered forms of your attention; the spice and the oil for the light correspond to the flame of awareness and the anointing of your will—anointing as identification with your best self, and incense as the sweet, persistent prayer of feeling. When you attend to these offerings in imagination, you are not petitioning some external temple, you are organizing and filling your inner sanctuary with light, purity, and integrity. Your present consciousness is the temple; your I AM is the presence. By imagining the rulers bringing these gifts, you acknowledge the abundance already within you and invite it to take form in your life as guidance, protection, and luminous clarity.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Close your eyes and assume you are the ruler of your inner sanctuary; gift yourself with the stones of steadfast belief, the oil of anointing calm on your thoughts, and the incense of sweet, present prayer. Feel these gifts already yours, lighting your mind and sanctifying your awareness.
