Beersheba: The Inner Covenant

Genesis 21:31 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Genesis 21 in context

Scripture Focus

31Wherefore he called that place Beersheba; because there they sware both of them.
Genesis 21:31

Biblical Context

The verse notes the naming of Beersheba because an oath was sworn there, signaling a sacred covenant formed in the encounter.

Neville's Inner Vision

Beersheba is not a place you visit; it is a state you enter. The oath spoken there marks a clear decision in consciousness: a covenant between the two aspects of your life and your awareness. When Genesis says that Abraham named the place Beersheba, imagine that the name assigns a settled inner condition: a well from which your life draws its truth. In Neville's terms, a covenant is a decision in the I AM to remain faithful to what you truly intend. Faith is not belief in something outside; it is alignment of inner purpose with the sense of I AM that cannot be denied. The swearing is the mental act of consenting to your own inner law, a promise that your words to yourself reflect your deepest intention. When you cultivate that inner Beersheba, fear becomes a response of interpretation, not reality. Your outer experiences then flow from a maintained inner contract: that you are loyal to your own truth and that truth is the living God within, the I AM that feels the oath and breathes life into it.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, stand in inner Beersheba and declare the covenant in consciousness: I am faithful to the truth I intend. Feel the oath as living energy flowing from the I AM.
