Genesis 26:7 Inner Truth Shielded

Genesis 26:7 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Genesis 26 in context

Scripture Focus

7And the men of the place asked him of his wife; and he said, She is my sister: for he feared to say, She is my wife; lest, said he, the men of the place should kill me for Rebekah; because she was fair to look upon.
Genesis 26:7

Biblical Context

Isaac tells the men that Rebekah is his sister to shield himself from danger, revealing how fear can distort truth. He fears they would kill him for her beauty, so he withholds the full truth.

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville Goddard perspective the scene is not a distant history but a map of your inner state. The 'men of the place' symbolize the social mind that demands a safe story; 'Rebekah' is your inward life—the quality of life you fear to lay openly as truth, so you cloak her as 'sister' to avoid judgment. Isaac's action reveals a frightened self identifying with danger rather than with the stable, divine I AM within. When you innerly declare that your wife is your true life—your unity with God—you pierce the illusion of threat. The cure is not to call truth a lie, but to revise the assumption until it feels real. Say to yourself, 'I am the truth now revealed as my life; there is no threat in my wholeness.' Feel the safety that comes with alignment, and notice how the outer scene shifts to reflect a stronger inner certainty. Your job is to practice this revision until fear dissolves and life becomes a seamless expression of your inner reality.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Assume the truth that your life is the Life of God within you, and revise the scene in your mind to reflect that unity. Feel the relief and steady trust that follows.
