Neville Goddard on Genesis 15:9 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Genesis 15 in context

Scripture Focus

9And he said unto him, Take me an heifer of three years old, and a she goat of three years old, and a ram of three years old, and a turtledove, and a young pigeon.

Genesis 15:9

Biblical Context

God instructs Abram to bring specific animals as a ritual offering, signaling the covenant and loyalty between them. The verse paints an act of preparation that marks trust and devotion.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you, the script presents a practical inward ritual. The animals Abram is told to bring are not external creatures but emblems of the faculties you must align in consciousness: vitality (the heifer), loyalty (the she-goat), strength (the ram), peace (the dove), and innocence or readiness (the young pigeon). The instruction 'Take me' is a summons to take into your awareness the very principle you desire to covenant with—the I AM unfolding as your present awareness. The 'three years old' quality signals maturity of these faculties ready for manifestation, not stubborn youth but prepared energy offered on the altar of attention. This is not historical history; it is your inner law of assumption: you offer these states to God—the I AM within—as the terms of a relationship that invites you to live as if the covenant stands now. When you align with that inner offering, you are not petitioning for something future; you are choosing to live from the conclusion that the covenant already is.

Practice This Now

Practice: In your imagination, present the five offerings as inner qualities you claim now—mature vitality, loyal trust, steadfast strength, peaceful receptivity, and tender innocence. Feel the covenant already established as your lived reality.
