Neville Goddard on Genesis 43:18-24 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Genesis 43 in context

Scripture Focus

18And the men were afraid, because they were brought into Joseph's house; and they said, Because of the money that was returned in our sacks at the first time are we brought in; that he may seek occasion against us, and fall upon us, and take us for bondmen, and our asses.

19And they came near to the steward of Joseph's house, and they communed with him at the door of the house,

20And said, O sir, we came indeed down at the first time to buy food:

21And it came to pass, when we came to the inn, that we opened our sacks, and, behold, every man's money was in the mouth of his sack, our money in full weight: and we have brought it again in our hand.

22And other money have we brought down in our hands to buy food: we cannot tell who put our money in our sacks.

23And he said, Peace be to you, fear not: your God, and the God of your father, hath given you treasure in your sacks: I had your money. And he brought Simeon out unto them.

24And the man brought the men into Joseph's house, and gave them water, and they washed their feet; and he gave their asses provender.

Genesis 43:18-24

Biblical Context

The brothers fear they are in trouble after money returns in their sacks, but the steward reassures them that God has provided treasure in their sacks and they are welcomed with mercy.

Neville's Inner Vision

Fear and money are but thoughts in the mind. Joseph’s steward speaks as the higher I AM: Peace be to you, fear not; your God and the God of your father hath given you treasure in your sacks. Neville would have you understand that the coin you found is not a possession but a symbol of consciousness already possessed by you in God. The “money” is belief, your perception of lack, and the outer event is simply a mirror of your inner assumption. When you accept that the treasure is already yours in divine mind, the apparent threat dissolves and you are led into the inner house of hospitality—water for your feet, provision for your beasts—where mercy reigns. Simeon's release and the welcome into Joseph's house signify the turn from fear-driven action to trust-filled being. In this reset, you recognize that you are guided by Providence, and abundance flows as you align with the truth of I AM that you are. Train your attention to dwell there, and the world around you will reflect Shalom, provision, and unearned mercy.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: In stillness, assume the I AM as steward of your life and picture the door opening to hospitality, water for your feet, and treasure already yours. Rest there in the feeling of 'I already possess.'
