Neville Goddard on Exodus 9:13-17 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Exodus 9 in context

Scripture Focus

13And the LORD said unto Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me.

14For I will at this time send all my plagues upon thine heart, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people; that thou mayest know that there is none like me in all the earth.

15For now I will stretch out my hand, that I may smite thee and thy people with pestilence; and thou shalt be cut off from the earth.

16And in very deed for this cause have I raised thee up, for to shew in thee my power; and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth.

17As yet exaltest thou thyself against my people, that thou wilt not let them go?

Exodus 9:13-17

Biblical Context

God commands Moses to tell Pharaoh to let the Israelites go so they may serve God. The plagues are a dramatic display of God’s power meant to humble Pharaoh and secure deliverance for Israel.

Neville's Inner Vision

See the passages as an inner drama. The LORD that Moses speaks for is the I AM within you, the consciousness that awakens at dawn. Pharaoh represents the stubborn habit of mind that says not yet to your true nature. When the plague is promised, it is the inner movement of letting go—an old fear, an old limitation—so that you may know there is none like the God within you. The line that I raised thee up becomes your old identity allowed to appear to show you its emptiness, so you may choose a higher state. Let my people go becomes your decision to release your inner tribe—the aspects of yourself you have claimed as unchangeable—and serve the one God of awareness. The warning you shall be cut off from the earth signals the death of the former self, not punishment but clearance for a new life. In the end, the power and the name spread through the earth as your realized state. Your task is simple: refuse to resist the truth of your own I AM.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly, assume I AM as the sole power, revise a recent fear by declaring let my fear go now, and feel the liberation as your inner state aligns with the truth of your freedom.
