Inner Flight to Haran

Genesis 27:42-45 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Genesis 27 in context

Scripture Focus

42And these words of Esau her elder son were told to Rebekah: and she sent and called Jacob her younger son, and said unto him, Behold, thy brother Esau, as touching thee, doth comfort himself, purposing to kill thee.
43Now therefore, my son, obey my voice; and arise, flee thou to Laban my brother to Haran;
44And tarry with him a few days, until thy brother's fury turn away;
45Until thy brother's anger turn away from thee, and he forget that which thou hast done to him: then I will send, and fetch thee from thence: why should I be deprived also of you both in one day?
Genesis 27:42-45

Biblical Context

Rebekah learns Esau plans to kill Jacob and instructs him to flee to Haran. She promises to fetch him back after his brother's anger subsides.

Neville's Inner Vision

On the inner screen, Esau is the outer circumstance roaring with fear; Rebekah is the quiet command of your own I AM guiding the flight. Jacob, the younger son, is the seed of a new impression you intend to plant in a different soil. When Rebekah says, 'arise, flee to Haran,' she invites you to relocate your attention from the immediate problem to a new mental address. Haran is not a place but a temporary exile of your old state of consciousness, a few days to let the fury of the outer mind cool and your new image take root. The promise 'I will fetch thee' is the assurance that your inner director will reassemble the self once the right inner condition is held. So you stand at the border of exile and return: you do not deny the threat, you simply refuse to submit to it as reality. In your awareness, you plant Jacob in a new environment until Esau's anger dissolves and the birthright reclaims its rightful place inside you—the I AM.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and imagine Jacob stepping away from a threatening scene into a calm, protected Haran-like place. Revise the scene with, 'I am safe; the outer threat dissolves; I return to my birthright as I AM' and feel it as real.
