Neville Goddard on Exodus 4:6-9 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Exodus 4 in context

Scripture Focus

6And the LORD said furthermore unto him, Put now thine hand into thy bosom. And he put his hand into his bosom: and when he took it out, behold, his hand was leprous as snow.

7And he said, Put thine hand into thy bosom again. And he put his hand into his bosom again; and plucked it out of his bosom, and, behold, it was turned again as his other flesh.

8And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe thee, neither hearken to the voice of the first sign, that they will believe the voice of the latter sign.

9And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe also these two signs, neither hearken unto thy voice, that thou shalt take of the water of the river, and pour it upon the dry land: and the water which thou takest out of the river shall become blood upon the dry land.

Exodus 4:6-9

Biblical Context

God instructs Moses to put his hand in his bosom; it appears leprous, then is healed when placed again. If they won't believe the first sign, they will believe the second, and if not, the river's water will be turned to blood on the dry land.

Neville's Inner Vision

View Moses’ hand as a symbol of your own consciousness. When it is pulled from the bosom and found leprous, you are looking at a state of mind convinced that life is separate from the I AM, that wholeness is far off and that you are afflicted by an inner disease. The command to reinsert the hand and draw it forth again—restored to its natural flesh—teaches that revival begins the moment you refuse the ruling of the appearance and affirm the one presence and power within: I AM. The record then says, if the people do not believe the first sign, they will believe the second; and if they refuse even that, the river’s water can be turned to blood—an outward sign that inner change in consciousness can rearrange the external scene. The sequence is not about pleading with a stubborn world but about applying inner authority: your deliverance and liberation begin as you dwell in the realization of your true identity. The prophecy and promise are not future events but present experiences awaiting your belief in the unseen.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, place your hand over your heart, and repeat, 'I AM.' See your inner state shift from fear to wholeness, then imagine the life-giving water of your clarity transforming circumstances around you.
