Cattle Plague and Inner Boundaries
Exodus 9:3-5 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Exodus 9 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Exodus 9:3-5 describes a grievous plague to Egypt's livestock while Israel's cattle are spared. It also marks a clear boundary between the two peoples and a set time for the divine act.
Neville's Inner Vision
Imagine the cattle as expressions of your inner states, not creatures in a field. In Exodus 9:3-5, the grievous murrain is not a random event but the I AM's precise differentiation of consciousness. The Lord's hand upon the cattle of Egypt versus Israel's is the inner discrimination that you awaken: the fear-born, lack-minded thoughts perish, while your true state, awareness, order, and provision, remains untouched. The severing between Egypt's cattle and Israel's signals your ability to distinguish what belongs to the old dream from what belongs to your new awareness. The appointed set time is your decision that the old script ends now and a new moment of practical reality begins. You are invited to observe, revise, and feel the shift as if it has already occurred, because imagination writes the conditions of your life. The plague is simply the outworking of conditioned thoughts leaving the field of your life, making room for the orderly activity of your divine state.
Practice This Now
Assume the inner Israel: declare, 'Only the good of my inner cattle remains; the rest dies to me now.' Then rest in the feeling of your new state as if this moment has already come.
