Neville Goddard on Exodus 39:2-5 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Exodus 39 in context

Scripture Focus

2And he made the ephod of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.

3And they did beat the gold into thin plates, and cut it into wires, to work it in the blue, and in the purple, and in the scarlet, and in the fine linen, with cunning work.

4They made shoulderpieces for it, to couple it together: by the two edges was it coupled together.

5And the curious girdle of his ephod, that was upon it, was of the same, according to the work thereof; of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen; as the LORD commanded Moses.

Exodus 39:2-5

Biblical Context

Exodus 39:2-5 details the ephod’s materials and weaving—gold, blue, purple, scarlet, and fine linen—together with shoulderpieces and a joining girdle, done by the LORD’s command. It presents the garment as a sacred sign fashioned by divine instruction.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you, the ephod is the self-assembly of your consciousness. The gold denotes the radiance of the I AM, the blue the faith that chooses in the unseen, the purple the inner authority that commands outward life, the scarlet the vitality that moves your will, while the fine linen speaks of purity and clarity. The beating of gold into thin plates and weaving into those colors mirrors your daily practice of forming thoughts and feelings into a coherent fabric. This is not history’s ornament but your inner order, established by the command of God—your own I AM acknowledging itself. As you imagine these colors woven into you, you become aware that your outward experiences are the fabric of your inner state. The shoulderpieces joined at the edges symbolize the integration of complementary tendencies under one awareness. The girdle binds the whole, a covenant you renew with your inner law. When you stand in this ephod of consciousness, you release the illusion of separation and let life reflect the harmony you have assumed in imagination.

Practice This Now

Assume you are already wearing the ephod; feel its weight and texture as you imagine gold (I AM), blue (faith), purple (inner authority), and scarlet (vitality) woven through you. Say, 'I am this harmony now,' and observe how your world begins to reflect your inner fabric.
