I Am a Sojourner: Resting Place

Genesis 23:3-4 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Genesis 23 in context

Scripture Focus

3And Abraham stood up from before his dead, and spake unto the sons of Heth, saying,
4I am a stranger and a sojourner with you: give me a possession of a buryingplace with you, that I may bury my dead out of my sight.
Genesis 23:3-4

Biblical Context

Abraham identifies himself as a stranger and asks the Hittites for a burial place so he can bury his dead out of sight.

Neville's Inner Vision

Let Abraham stand not as a relic of ancient times but as the inner state of your consciousness in the midst of appearances. He says, I am a stranger and a sojourner with you, not to confess defeat but to declare that a place of rest exists within. The burying place he seeks is not a cemetery but a fixed state of mind where the dead past and fear can be laid out of sight. The loyalty of the covenant appears as unwavering trust in the I AM within, a trust that makes possible a lasting resting place for your life. When you adopt this inner posture, you act as if the world is listening to your claim, and the world answers with new opportunities, rest, and continuity. You are not wandering toward possession; you are awakening to the truth that you are the space of awareness itself, the claim, and the keeper of your own inner rest.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume you already possess an inner burial place; feel the past laid to rest in your awareness, and affirm I AM the possessor of this space.
