Inner Covenant Rite Unveiled

Genesis 17:26-27 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Genesis 17 in context

Scripture Focus

26In the selfsame day was Abraham circumcised, and Ishmael his son.
27And all the men of his house, born in the house, and bought with money of the stranger, were circumcised with him.
Genesis 17:26-27

Biblical Context

Genesis 17:26-27 records Abraham, Ishmael, and all the men in his house being circumcised on the selfsame day. It represents a communal sign of covenant loyalty and obedience among the household.

Neville's Inner Vision

On the selfsame day, Abraham's act points to the moment you make up your mind to cut away a belief that keeps you apart from the I AM within. The house and Ishmael symbolize your inner faculties—habits, projects, loyalties—born of your past and yet now included in the one covenant. The “money of the stranger” represents beliefs you acquired from others, ideas you paid for in worry rather than in trusting perception. Circumcision, then, is a practical symbol: a decisive revision of your self-state, a renewal of loyalty to the inner law. When you assent, all the men of your inner household are brought into obedience by your decision; the sign becomes a circulating energy of alignment. No longer do you operate from fear or doubt; you move with the certainty that the I AM has sealed you to its purpose. Practice this as you breathe: feel the renewed unity, imagine the circle of your inner family bowing to the same new vow, and know the covenant is already done in you.

Practice This Now

Assume you have already cut away the old belief of lack and fear, and feel the I AM uniting all your inner faculties. Then imagine the sign on the heart, and live from that certainty.
