Inner Pharaoh and the Plague

Genesis 12:17-20 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Genesis 12 in context

Scripture Focus

17And the LORD plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai Abram's wife.
18And Pharaoh called Abram, and said, What is this that thou hast done unto me? why didst thou not tell me that she was thy wife?
19Why saidst thou, She is my sister? so I might have taken her to me to wife: now therefore behold thy wife, take her, and go thy way.
20And Pharaoh commanded his men concerning him: and they sent him away, and his wife, and all that he had.
Genesis 12:17-20

Biblical Context

Pharaoh is afflicted because of Sarai, Abram’s wife, exposing the inner misalignment. The scene ends with Abram and Sarai sent away, signaling a move toward correction and renewal.

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider the LORD's action as a movement of consciousness, not a history lesson. Abram’s line, 'she is my sister,' represents a split in identity—a belief that truth and desire occupy different realms. Sarai, the rightful wife of the inner state, stands for the wholeness your I AM knows as you. The ‘great plagues’ that strike Pharaoh’s house are the outward symptoms of this inner division: fear, questioning, and demand for separation that arise when you pretend separation from your own treasure. When Pharaoh says, 'What is this that thou hast done unto me?' he is the inner voice of judgment waking you to your error. The remedy is simple: revise the scene in your imagination so that the wife of your true state is acknowledged as inseparable from you. Release the lie that you must pretend, and align your inner belief with the truth that you and your desire are one. The exodus—the order to go— mirrors your decision to move the old belief out of your life and dwell in the truth of unity with I AM.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and, in imagination, declare that you and your deepest desire are one; revise any memory of separation and feel the truth of unity already resident in you.
