When Joseph Fled: Inner Purity
Genesis 39:13 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Genesis 39 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
She realizes Joseph has fled, leaving his garment in her hand. The moment signals an attempted seduction and a test of Joseph's integrity.
Neville's Inner Vision
Genesis 39:13 presents not a crime drama but a drama of consciousness. The garment in her hand is the outer sign of an inner narrative you have accepted as real. Joseph's flight is the inner movement of the mind away from a suggestion that would define him by need or sensation. In truth, the boy was never touched by the temptation; his real identity, the I AM within, remains untouched by any outward plot. When you too refuse to identify with the tempting thought and instead dwell in the awareness that you are pure, you revise the scene at its source. The wife's gaze and her act become mirrors showing where your own assumptions cling to a story rather than to your real self. The moment you assert I AM, and feel the certainty of integrity, the external garment of circumstance drops from its hold and you walk out of the dream into the full reality of your unconditioned divinity.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Sit quietly and repeat I AM pure and upright. Feel the truth in your chest until the sense of separation dissolves.
