Neville Goddard on Genesis 45:10 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Genesis 45 in context

Scripture Focus

10And thou shalt dwell in the land of Goshen, and thou shalt be near unto me, thou, and thy children, and thy children's children, and thy flocks, and thy herds, and all that thou hast:

Genesis 45:10

Biblical Context

Genesis 45:10 presents Jacob's family as being invited to settle in Goshen, near Joseph, with their descendants and all their herds and possessions.

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville, Genesis 45:10 is not a geographic itinerary but a map of the inner life. Goshen becomes a state of consciousness where the I AM sits close—near unto you. When you read that you shall dwell in Goshen, interpret it as the moment you maintain the right mental stance, the moment your awareness closes the gap between you and its life. Joseph represents your higher self, the active principle that draws all into alignment. Saying you and thy children and thy flocks are there signals that every department of life—family, health, wealth, and energy—can be nourished by that one state. The covenant loyalty is the promise that God is present and you are already there, because your I AM is always near. The practical effect is a revision of lack by inhabiting the inner Goshen now, letting the imagination fashion reality from the certainty that you are held by the I AM.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Close your eyes, breathe, and assume I AM dwelling in Goshen now, near the I AM. Feel abundant atmosphere flooding your thoughts and treat the day as governed by this inner closeness.
