Neville Goddard on Genesis 37:23-24 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Genesis 37 in context

Scripture Focus

23And it came to pass, when Joseph was come unto his brethren, that they stript Joseph out of his coat, his coat of many colours that was on him;

24And they took him, and cast him into a pit: and the pit was empty, there was no water in it.

Genesis 37:23-24

Biblical Context

Joseph is stripped of his coat and cast into an empty pit by his brothers. The scene marks a moment of isolation and testing on his journey toward a larger future.

Neville's Inner Vision

Picture this scene as your inner life made visible. The brothers are not merely people but the voices of doubt and circumstance within your mind. The coat of many colors is your cherished self-image—the roles, honors, and identities you wear in the world. When they strip it away, you stand in a dry, empty pit where water no longer sustains the old sense of life. This emptiness is not punishment; it is a crucible in which consciousness can awaken. Here, events are not adversaries but movements of your own state of awareness. If you refuse fear and affirm the I AM, the inner substance beneath the surface begins to reveal itself. The absence of water signals the old well of belief drying up, inviting a fresh stream of faith born from imagination. Hold the unwavering conviction that I am the I AM, and that through this inner recognition you incite a future that already exists within your revised state.
