Neville Goddard on Genesis 31:14-16 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Genesis 31 in context

Scripture Focus

14And Rachel and Leah answered and said unto him, Is there yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father's house?

15Are we not counted of him strangers? for he hath sold us, and hath quite devoured also our money.

16For all the riches which God hath taken from our father, that is ours, and our children's: now then, whatsoever God hath said unto thee, do.

Genesis 31:14-16

Biblical Context

Rachel and Leah tell Jacob there is no portion for them in their father's house and that they are counted as strangers; they declare the riches God has taken from their father belong to them and their children, and urge him to do whatever God has spoken.

Neville's Inner Vision

To read this scripture through Neville Goddard’s lens is to hear the inner recognition that inheritance is an inner state, not a name of property. The 'father's house' stands for old memory and limitation in consciousness; 'Rachel and Leah' are the two faculties of your mind that refuse to accept alien status in your own temple. They affirm a 'portion' and an 'inheritance' that belong to them by a divine arrangement already completed in God, the I AM within. When they say the riches God hath taken from our father, that is ours, they name the inner act of God removing counterfeit wealth—fear, doubt, scarcity—from the surface so your true riches may be seen. The directive, 'whatsoever God hath said unto thee, do,' becomes your instruction to align with the inner voice, to act from the I AM rather than from past conditions. If you dwell in this reading, you practice assuming the end: the wealth, provision, and lineage you seek are already given by the unchanging decree of God. Persist in that assumption until outer circumstances reflect the inner state of abundance.
