Neville Goddard on Genesis 10:19 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Genesis 10 in context

Scripture Focus

19And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as thou comest to Gerar, unto Gaza; as thou goest, unto Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, even unto Lasha.

Genesis 10:19

Biblical Context

Genesis 10:19 simply describes the geographic border of the Canaanites, tracing a path from Sidon to Lasha through Gerar, Gaza, Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim. It reads as a map of territory rather than a command.

Neville's Inner Vision

Genesis 10:19 is not a historical declaration but a map of your inner borders. In Neville’s terms, the Canaanites are the inhabitants of your state of consciousness; Sidon marks the starting point of awareness, Gerar the testing ground of conviction, and Gaza the crossing where you leave behind the old belief. Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim are the inner tempests that threaten faith, yet the border continues to Lasha—the edge of your promised land where you declare I AM and mean it. Providence is not a distant decree but your steady alignment of attention with the truth you seek; as you dwell in the feeling that your desire is already realized, the map redraws itself. Your life becomes the land of Canaan, not a future place but a present state of consciousness you inhabit by imagination and steadfast faith.

Practice This Now

Assume the feeling that your promise is real now. Imagine walking the border from Sidon to Lasha, crossing into the land of your I AM, and dwell there in that feeling.
