Inner Testimony Genesis 39:17-18

Genesis 39:17-18 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Genesis 39 in context

Scripture Focus

17And she spake unto him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew servant, which thou hast brought unto us, came in unto me to mock me:
18And it came to pass, as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled out.
Genesis 39:17-18

Biblical Context

Potiphar's wife falsely accuses the Hebrew servant Joseph of mocking her; as she cries out, he flees and leaves his garment behind.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this scene the wife’s accusation is not merely a case of a man and a woman, but a voice of the mind testing your state. The 'Hebrew servant' is your inner righteousness—the I AM that cannot be undone by appearances. The garment left in her hand is the outer sign by which the world seeks to define you; it is the story you wear about yourself. When the cry rises, Joseph does not argue the case; he withdraws into the consciousness that he is more than a body or a name. The outward scene crumbles when seen as a projection of fear and judgment, and the true verdict rests with the inner witness that you are consciousness, not circumstance. The drama invites you to exercise the faith that your sense of self is unshakable, regardless of others' claims. Practice by returning to the assumption of your unity with the I AM, and let the mental equivalent of safety and worth dominate the moment, until perception itself reflects that inner state.

Practice This Now

Assume a new scene: I am the I AM; this accusation cannot touch my inner state. Feel the certainty and revise the narrative so the inner witness remains unmoved as the garment is left behind.
