Neville Goddard on Genesis 24:10-14 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Genesis 24 in context

Scripture Focus

10And the servant took ten camels of the camels of his master, and departed; for all the goods of his master were in his hand: and he arose, and went to Mesopotamia, unto the city of Nahor.

11And he made his camels to kneel down without the city by a well of water at the time of the evening, even the time that women go out to draw water.

12And he said, O LORD God of my master Abraham, I pray thee, send me good speed this day, and shew kindness unto my master Abraham.

13Behold, I stand here by the well of water; and the daughters of the men of the city come out to draw water:

14And let it come to pass, that the damsel to whom I shall say, Let down thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drink; and she shall say, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: let the same be she that thou hast appointed for thy servant Isaac; and thereby shall I know that thou hast shewed kindness unto my master.

Genesis 24:10-14

Biblical Context

Abraham's servant travels to Nahor, prays at a well, and seeks a sign to identify the woman for Isaac. The narrative hinges on trust that inner choice manifests through outward events.

Neville's Inner Vision

Genesis 24:10-14 reveals a drama of a servant standing at the edge of his present self, asking the I AM to confer a sign. In Neville's terms, the outward journey is an inner movement: the goods in his hand symbolize the wealth of a fulfilled state, fidelity to a master's consciousness exemplifies faithfulness to your own higher pattern. The evening well is the inner well of water where life-giving conviction flows; the damsel who offers drink becomes the symbolic confirmation that your assumption is acceptable to God, that Providence recognizes your state as ready to be realized. The prayer 'send me good speed this day' is your assumption that the right conditions are set, not by chance but by your inner decree. The sign—someone who sustains you and joins your purpose—appears as evidence that you and your world have been harmonized by your fidelity to the I AM. Therefore the entire scene is an allegory of your inner alignment: when you stand by your own well, the answer arrives in the form of circumstance that confirms your trusted state.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, assume you are already at the well of your life, feeling the right provision arriving. Repeat, 'I am guided now,' and let the vision of harmony with my higher pattern unfold as if it is done.
