Ezra 10:30-31 Inner Covenant States
Ezra 10:30-31 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Ezra 10 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The passage names two families and their sons, signaling the inner assembly of a people bound by covenant loyalty and unity.
Neville's Inner Vision
In this moment, the list is not a genealogical record but a map of inner states. The sons of Pahathmoab and Harim become facets of your consciousness—Adna, Chelal, Benaiah, Maaseiah, Mattaniah, Bezaleel, Binnui, Manasseh, Eliezer, Ishijah, Malchiah, Shemaiah, Shimeon—each representing a feeling, habit, or attitude within you. Neville's teaching would have you recognize that 'God' is the I AM inside you, and imagination creates reality. When you treat these names as distinct but harmonizable parts, you invite covenant loyalty to your inner world. By assuming the state that all these parts belong to one self, you align your inner community with the covenant and allow unity to be reflected in your experience. The apparent separation dissolves as you maintain the awareness of one I AM governing all currents of your being.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and imagine each name as a thread of light within your chest. Silently affirm, 'I am one with every part of my being,' and feel the threads fuse into a single, radiant I AM.
