Neville Goddard on Genesis 34:15-16 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Genesis 34 in context

Scripture Focus

15But in this will we consent unto you: If ye will be as we be, that every male of you be circumcised;

16Then will we give our daughters unto you, and we will take your daughters to us, and we will dwell with you, and we will become one people.

Genesis 34:15-16

Biblical Context

They present a covenant proposal: if you become as we are by circumcision, we will intermarry and dwell together to become one people.

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider Genesis 34:15–16 as a symbol of the inner covenant you entertain with life. The words do not bind kingdoms; they reveal your capacity to shift your state of consciousness until separation dissolves into unity. Circumcision, here, is not a physical cut but the mental act of cutting away a former identity—the belief that you and life are separate from others. When you consent to be as those around you in your inner conviction, you align your desires, your traits, and your aims into one harmonious field. The “daughters” you offer and take are not external marriages but the exchange of ideas and opportunities that accompany a shared state. To dwell with others and become one people is to inhabit a single consciousness in which diversity remains but loyalty to the whole is first. Your real question is: what covenant are you willing to assume now in imagination, and what inner laws will you pledge to obey? The moment you assume the feeling of oneness, the external world mirrors that unity.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and revise: 'I and every person in my life are one consciousness.' Feel it real for a few minutes, letting the sense of separation dissolve.
