Brick by Brick Within

Exodus 5:15-16 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Exodus 5 in context

Scripture Focus

15Then the officers of the children of Israel came and cried unto Pharaoh, saying, Wherefore dealest thou thus with thy servants?
16There is no straw given unto thy servants, and they say to us, Make brick: and, behold, thy servants are beaten; but the fault is in thine own people.
Exodus 5:15-16

Biblical Context

The Israelite officers complain to Pharaoh about lack of straw, being beaten, and the hard task of brick-making, insisting the fault lies with Pharaoh’s policy rather than the workers. It frames suffering as a test of endurance and a call to turn inner responsibility toward God.

Neville's Inner Vision

Here, the officers cry to Pharaoh, yet the real message is not theirs to Pharaoh but to the I AM within. The complaint about straw and bricks is a story about your mind’s sense of lack under a harsh rule of false images. The Pharaoh is the stubborn ego that insists on conditions, while the straw-less day and the beatings reveal a deeper conviction: you have believed you are excluded from supply, controlled by outer powers. When you hear 'the fault is in thine own people,' hear it as a call to return responsibility to your own inner state. Your power does not come from Pharaoh’s edict but from the I AM that stands behind every scene, the awareness that creates via imagination. Your task is to revise the belief, to assume a new slow breath of sufficiency, to feel the reality of peace, order, and supply already present within. By imagining yourself free, the bricks of limitation become creative acts under your command.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the feeling 'I AM free now.' Visualize the scene shifting as inner abundance replaces lack, and affirm quietly, 'The outer world will align with this inner state.'
