Neville Goddard on Exodus 6:3-5 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Exodus 6 in context

Scripture Focus

3And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them.

4And I have also established my covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their pilgrimage, wherein they were strangers.

5And I have also heard the groaning of the children of Israel, whom the Egyptians keep in bondage; and I have remembered my covenant.

Exodus 6:3-5

Biblical Context

God showed Himself to the patriarchs as God Almighty, but now reveals the personal I AM. He confirms the covenant, remembers Israel's bondage, and promises their land.

Neville's Inner Vision

In Exodus 6:3-5, the Name spoken to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob as God Almighty represents a distant, external perception of the divine. The very phrase Jehovah not being known to them signals a shift from an externalized God to the living I AM within you now. The covenant is not a past contract but a present law of your consciousness: you are kept, guided, and led toward your inner land—the promised state of freedom. The groaning of Israel in bondage is your inner longing, the call of limitation asking to be remembered by the living awareness that you are not separate from God. When God says He has remembered His covenant, He affirms that your inner covenant remains active in consciousness, ready to manifest as outer experience. The heart of the passage is a correction in identity: you move from a nameless, distant deity to the immediacy of I AM, and in that immediacy the promise becomes your living present reality. This is salvation as awakening: your inner land is already yours when you align with the covenant kept by your I AM.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Assume you are already free and under the covenant now; feel the I AM as your constant presence, and declare, 'I am kept and led to my promised land.'
