Genesis 12:9-10 Inner Exodus

Genesis 12:9-10 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Genesis 12 in context

Scripture Focus

9And Abram journeyed, going on still toward the south.
10And there was a famine in the land: and Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there; for the famine was grievous in the land.
Genesis 12:9-10

Biblical Context

Abram proceeds southward as famine presses on the land. He goes down into Egypt to sojourn there.

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice that in this telling, the famine is not an outer doom but a signal from your own consciousness that you have identified with lack. Abram’s movement toward the south represents a shift of attention into a denser, familiar climate—the lower self—where fear of need seems to rule. Going down into Egypt is a metaphor for dwelling in a conditioned belief rather than in the limitless supply of your I AM. The true I AM remains unchanged, and it is the one to be relied upon as the source of all conditions. When you feel the famine, you have a choice: you can revise the state now by affirming that abundance is your natural condition and that space and provision respond to your awareness. Imagine yourself not as a traveler bound for a distant land but as the ruler of your inner country, present in every moment. As you hold this impression, the external scene will gradually echo your inner certainty. Abram’s wandering becomes your disciplined patience in seeing from the end—the end being abundance.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: For five minutes, close your eyes and revise the scene using the I AM voice. Say, 'I am dwelling in abundance now; the land yields to me,' and feel the truth in your body until the image feels real.
