Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 48:1-7 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezekiel 48 in context

Scripture Focus

1Now these are the names of the tribes. From the north end to the coast of the way of Hethlon, as one goeth to Hamath, Hazarenan, the border of Damascus northward, to the coast of Hamath; for these are his sides east and west; a portion for Dan.

2And by the border of Dan, from the east side unto the west side, a portion for Asher.

3And by the border of Asher, from the east side even unto the west side, a portion for Naphtali.

4And by the border of Naphtali, from the east side unto the west side, a portion for Manasseh.

5And by the border of Manasseh, from the east side unto the west side, a portion for Ephraim.

6And by the border of Ephraim, from the east side even unto the west side, a portion for Reuben.

7And by the border of Reuben, from the east side unto the west side, a portion for Judah.

Ezekiel 48:1-7

Biblical Context

These verses name the tribes in order along a northern-to-southern boundary and assign them distinct, east-to-west portions. The passage presents a structured, covenantal map of shared territory that speaks to communal order and Providence.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within your consciousness this list is a map, not of land but of states of awareness. Ezekiel 48:1-7 names Dan, Asher, Naphtali, Manasseh, Ephraim, Reuben, and Judah as moving boundaries that your mind can recognize, claim, and harmonize. The north and the east or west are not places, they are directions of attention, gates through which energy flows. When the I AM attends to each tribe, the inner landscape becomes ordered and secure, a covenant loyalty inscribed into your being. Providence is not fate imposed from without but your own inner guidance arranging faculties—desire, memory, purpose, affection—so that none is neglected. As you acknowledge the portions assigned to each tribe, you enact a unity in diversity, a single nation of consciousness rising through your choices. This is the divine economy at work in your mind, teaching you that you govern your inner country and that perception itself shapes reality.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly, close your eyes, and imagine your mind as the land Ezekiel describes, with each tribe occupying its proper eastern-to-western portion. Then declare I AM the ruler of this land, granting fullness and harmony to every tribe and feeling the unity of all your faculties.
