Field of Promise Realized
Genesis 23:20 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Genesis 23 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Abraham is given a field and cave by the sons of Heth as a burial place, securing a physical possession in the land.
Neville's Inner Vision
In this verse, the field and the cave are not mere land but the inner ground of your consciousness where you settle possessions. The field represents a state of mind that accepts ownership; the cave is the inner retreat where old identities are laid to rest. The securing by the sons of Heth signals that such possession comes first as an inner decree—your I AM, your awareness, authorizes what you affirm. The outward field merely echoes an inward decision; you are granted this by your own inner consent, not by external permission. When you dwell in this truth, you discover that the outer arrangement follows from a sustained inner conviction. The burial place becomes a quiet chamber of rest and release from agitation, a covenant kept within your awareness. Practice aligning your attention with this assured state, and observe conditions harmonize with the conviction you hold in consciousness.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume the end: you already own the field and cave. Silently say, I AM the owner of this place now, and feel the settled rest and gratitude as if it were real in this moment.
