Neville Goddard on Exodus 9:1-7 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Exodus 9 in context

Scripture Focus

1Then the LORD said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh, and tell him, Thus saith the LORD God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me.

2For if thou refuse to let them go, and wilt hold them still,

3Behold, the hand of the LORD is upon thy cattle which is in the field, upon the horses, upon the asses, upon the camels, upon the oxen, and upon the sheep: there shall be a very grievous murrain.

4And the LORD shall sever between the cattle of Israel and the cattle of Egypt: and there shall nothing die of all that is the children's of Israel.

5And the LORD appointed a set time, saying, To morrow the LORD shall do this thing in the land.

6And the LORD did that thing on the morrow, and all the cattle of Egypt died: but of the cattle of the children of Israel died not one.

7And Pharaoh sent, and, behold, there was not one of the cattle of the Israelites dead. And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not let the people go.

Exodus 9:1-7

Biblical Context

God tells Moses to demand Pharaoh release the Israelites so they may serve Him. If Pharaoh resists, a grievous plague falls on Egypt’s cattle while Israel’s cattle remain untouched, and Pharaoh’s heart remains hard.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you, the scene is a law of consciousness. The LORD speaks as the I AM, commanding that your inner people—your faithful states—be allowed to serve the one life. If you refuse to release them, the hand of the LORD moves upon the cattle in your field—the horses, the asses, the camels, the oxen, the sheep—your faculties in action. A grievous murrain sweeps through the unrenewed mind, and a separation occurs: the cattle of Israel versus the cattle of Egypt. The set time is fixed: tomorrow the Lord will do this thing in the land. And it comes to pass: the Egypt-state faculties perish, yet the Israel-state remains untouched. Pharaoh’s heart hardens, and the old resistance persists. This drama mirrors your inner life: the plague is the death of faculties not governed by the I AM, the separation is the moment your true self—your inner Israel—takes sovereignty, and the deliverance comes as you acknowledge the I AM’s rule over every aspect of your life.

Practice This Now

Assume now that your inner Israel is already delivered and protected by the I AM. Revise the belief that Egypt’s cattle control you, and feel the sovereignty of the higher state reigning in this moment.
