The Inner Sale and Return

Genesis 37:26-28 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Genesis 37 in context

Scripture Focus

26And Judah said unto his brethren, What profit is it if we slay our brother, and conceal his blood?
27Come, and let us sell him to the Ishmeelites, and let not our hand be upon him; for he is our brother and our flesh. And his brethren were content.
28Then there passed by Midianites merchantmen; and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmeelites for twenty pieces of silver: and they brought Joseph into Egypt.
Genesis 37:26-28

Biblical Context

Joseph's brothers debate how to handle him, suggesting profit over kinship. They then sell him, and he is carried away to Egypt.

Neville's Inner Vision

Genesis 37:26-28 reveals a moment where fear and appetite for gain eclipse brotherhood. In Neville’s terms, that scene is not history written in ink but a state of consciousness—Judah’s question marks the belief that profit lies outside of unity. The ‘Ishmaelites’ and the pit are the inner currents that carry your dream into a foreign land: Egypt, the arena where your ideas must take form. The sale for twenty pieces of silver is the price you unconsciously assign to a shift of consciousness away from trust. You may feel the impulse to externalize your good, to turn from the inner wholeness that Joseph, your divine idea, represents. Yet the truth is that Joseph never left your inner kingdom—he is always the I AM within you. To reinterpret, choose now to revise the scene: assume Joseph is already safe and alive in the house of your true purpose; feel that you own the plan and the channels that bring it forth. Inhabit the final outcome in your imagination, and let the outer scene follow.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes, breathe, and revise the scene by affirming: I am the I AM; there is no loss—only unity. See Joseph as the inner idea safely carried to its own Egypt, and feel the wish fulfilled as you dwell in the ending state.
