Inner Birth of Abram

Genesis 11:24-26 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Genesis 11 in context

Scripture Focus

24And Nahor lived nine and twenty years, and begat Terah:
25And Nahor lived after he begat Terah an hundred and nineteen years, and begat sons and daughters.
26And Terah lived seventy years, and begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
Genesis 11:24-26

Biblical Context

The verses record Nahor’s age at Terah’s birth and Terah’s own years, culminating in Terah fathering Abram, Nahor, and Haran. It is a genealogical note marking a transition between generations.

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice that the names and numbers are not merely history; they are inner states taking form. Nahor represents a first birth of life, the impulse that begins to tell time in your mind. Upon his old age, Terah is born, a transition of consciousness, a moment when a new sense of I AM emerges and begins to carry the seed of what is to come. Then Terah himself begets Abram, Nahor, and Haran—a triad that signals the expansion of your awareness, where the higher birth of Abram (the promised one) enters the field. The ages are not ages but durations of attention you give to a dream. The narrative points to Providence and Guidance: the inner leading hand that places you with the people and circumstances necessary for the next, higher birth. Community and Unity appear as the family circle—your inner circle—converging to support the birth of your new self. Therefore, do not seek outward changes alone; revise your inner sense of self to align with the state you desire, and let the birth occur in your imagination.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Assume the state of Abram now; dwell in I AM and feel the promise as present. Revision: gently revise a current lack by imagining your desired outcome established in your inner circle, and carry that feeling as if it is already real.
