Neville Goddard on Genesis 38:25-26 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Genesis 38 in context

Scripture Focus

25When she was brought forth, she sent to her father in law, saying, By the man, whose these are, am I with child: and she said, Discern, I pray thee, whose are these, the signet, and bracelets, and staff.

26And Judah acknowledged them, and said, She hath been more righteous than I; because that I gave her not to Shelah my son. And he knew her again no more.

Genesis 38:25-26

Biblical Context

Tamar uses tokens to expose the child's father. Judah acknowledges she has been more righteous than he for not giving her to Shelah, and then he knows her no more.

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider the scene as a mirror of your own inner life. The tokens signet bracelets and staff stand for fixed beliefs you carry about who you are and what life owes you. Tamar airing them is the inner truth breaking into outward appearance, and Judah’s admission that she hath been more righteous than I is not a condemnation but the moment your inner state aligns with justice. When you drop pride and cease to cling to a past decision you call rightful, the outer event can reflect your inner correction. The turning is a turning of heart, a turning of attention from what you think you owe others to what you acknowledge as the I AM within. Your real authority is consciousness, and truth is vindicated when you willingly revise your sense of self in alignment with what is right. In this moment, you can soften and declare to yourself that you are the I AM, not the image you projected, and permit the inner conviction to manifest as harmony in your life.

Practice This Now

Assume the feeling that you are the I AM observing this moment and revise a lingering judgment about yourself. Silently affirm I am the truth I seek and feel it real.
