Inner Offspring of Genesis 4:20-22
Genesis 4:20-22 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Genesis 4 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Genesis 4:20-22 presents three lines: Jabal, the father of those who dwell in tents and cattle; Jubal, the father of musicians; and Tubal-Cain, the craftsman in brass and iron.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within the garden of your inner life, the verses reveal three distinct states of consciousness personified by Jabal, Jubal, and Tubal-Cain. Jabal embodies the inner dwelling and provision—an awareness that settles you in stable space and resources, the capacity to tend your life with care. Jubal embodies music and harmony—the rhythm of thoughts and feelings flowing freely, the understanding that your inner vibration shapes outer experience. Tubal-Cain embodies craft and transformation—the skill to shape difficult matter into useful form, the discipline to forge your responses with intention. Naamah, the sister mentioned, hints at balance and receptive intelligence within this orchestra of awareness. When you align with these inner functions, you awaken the present God within—the I AM that animates all moves. Your imagination becomes the workshop where life is conceived, organized, and brought forth, guided by the steady breath of inner certainty. Embrace them as your own—provision, rhythm, and skill—and watch reality respond with ease.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and imagine you are Jabal, Jubal, and Tubal-Cain within one you: assume a steady, protective stance for provision, a clear, musical intention for harmony, and a confident, transformative hand for craft; feel the integrated, living certainty of I AM as you.
