Inner Judgment and Innocence

Genesis 20:9-10 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Genesis 20 in context

Scripture Focus

9Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said unto him, What hast thou done unto us? and what have I offended thee, that thou hast brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? thou hast done deeds unto me that ought not to be done.
10And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What sawest thou, that thou hast done this thing?
Genesis 20:9-10

Biblical Context

Genesis 20:9-10 records Abimelech confronting Abraham, asking what he did and what he saw that brought great sin upon them.

Neville's Inner Vision

Abimelech’s summons is your inner alarm clock. In Neville’s terms, the 'great sin' Abraham faces is not a crime outside you but a mis-tuned state of consciousness inviting judgment from the inner king. Abraham represents the I AM in you, acting from a belief in separation, which creates a scene your inner ruler can call sin. The question 'What sawest thou, that thou hast done this thing?' asks you to examine the images you have entertained in the privacy of mind: what belief did you hold that invited consequence? The law here is simple: the world mirrors your inner state. To resolve the scene, do not seek forgiveness from without, but revise your sense of self until it feels true that you are inseparably one with life and with God. When you inhabit a state of wholeness, your outer kingdom reflects harmony instead of accusation. The moment you assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled, the perceived sin dissolves into harmless imagery, and the inner governor quiets.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Sit quietly and assume the truth 'I am one with life, and there is no separation.' In your imagination, revisit the Abimelech encounter and revise it by restoring harmony, so the scene reflects harmlessness.
