Neville Goddard on Genesis 36:39 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Genesis 36 in context

Scripture Focus

39And Baalhanan the son of Achbor died, and Hadar reigned in his stead: and the name of his city was Pau; and his wife's name was Mehetabel, the daughter of Matred, the daughter of Mezahab.

Genesis 36:39

Biblical Context

Baalhanan dies and Hadar ascends to reign. The city Pau is named, and his wife Mehetabel is the daughter of Matred, the daughter of Mezahab.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Genesis 36:39, the old king Baalhanan dies and Hadar ascends the throne; Pau becomes the seat of a new sovereignty. This is your inner life: an old state of consciousness yields to a fresh ruling principle. Mehetabel, the wife, daughter of Matred and granddaughter of Mezahab, anchors the change in a lineage of awareness—the sense that divine order is handed down within you. The outer scene is the echo of an inner arrangement; when I align with the I AM as the sole ruler, I find that Hadar reigns in Pau, and power flows from the throne of consciousness to my outward experience. The Kingdom of God is not distant but present as I occupy my mind with quiet certainty and let the inner government preside. So practice is to accept this shift now: imagine the old ruler dying, invite Hadar to reign, and feel Mehetabel's ancestral line supporting your sovereignty.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and declare, 'I AM the ruler of Pau.' See Hadar seated on the throne of your mind, with Mehetabel's lineage backing this reign, and feel the I AM reigning now.
