Inner Bread of Ezekiel

Ezekiel 4:9-11 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Ezekiel 4 in context

Scripture Focus

9Take thou also unto thee wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentiles, and millet, and fitches, and put them in one vessel, and make thee bread thereof, according to the number of the days that thou shalt lie upon thy side, three hundred and ninety days shalt thou eat thereof.
10And thy meat which thou shalt eat shall be by weight, twenty shekels a day: from time to time shalt thou eat it.
11Thou shalt drink also water by measure, the sixth part of an hin: from time to time shalt thou drink.
Ezekiel 4:9-11

Biblical Context

Ezekiel is instructed to endure a long, symbolic rationing of bread and water, representing a disciplined inner state during exile. The act ties outward details—measured food and water—to the life of awareness.

Neville's Inner Vision

Let Ezekiel’s bread be seen as your inner diet. The wheat, barley, beans, lentils, millet, and fitches are the many states of consciousness you allow into your awareness, gathered into a single vessel by your attention. To lie on your side for 390 days is to practice a steady, non-resistive attention—an extended stillness where your identity watches sensations without becoming them. The bread you eat by weight, twenty shekels a day, is a precise intake of thought-energy: you choose a fixed amount of mental imagery and belief each day, neither starving nor overindulging. To drink water by measure, a sixth part of an hin, teaches you to sample life in measured sips, letting consciousness rest rather than churn. In this inner famine, you are not punished but trained; you learn that your I AM can reorder appetite and experience. If you revise now, you can imagine that the famine dissolves as your imagination feeds you with an abundance of peace, clarity, and creative power— the kingdom within, arriving by consistent, deliberate feeling.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Assume the I AM is the governor of your inner pantry; in stillness, taste a daily bread you choose and feel its nourishment filling every part of you. Let that feeling last a minute and carry you into your day.
