Genesis 25:9-10 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Genesis 25 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Isaac and Ishmael bury their father Abraham in the Machpelah cave, in the field Abraham bought from the Hittites; Abraham and Sarah are laid to rest there.
Neville's Inner Vision
In Neville’s register the scene is not a distant chapter of history but a movement within your own consciousness. The burial speaks of laying to rest an old self in the inner sanctuary of Machpelah, the cave of remembered form. Isaac and Ishmael symbolize the two streams of your mind—faith and natural thought—joining to fulfill a covenant you now sustain in awareness. The field of Ephron the son of Zohar, bought from the Hittites, is the land you claim by understanding, a field of awareness you own by covenant rather than by chance. When the two sons bury Abraham there, you are not watching a corpse fade, but witnessing a transformation: the outer identity dissolves as you commit to unity between the generations within your mind. This gesture declares that your consciousness can honor the past while yielding to a higher reliance on I AM—the I AM that births reality through imagination. In your present moment, the inner lineage is reconciled; what was once separate becomes one field under your steady decree.
Practice This Now
