Neville Goddard on Genesis 45:17-20 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Genesis 45 in context

Scripture Focus

17And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Say unto thy brethren, This do ye; lade your beasts, and go, get you unto the land of Canaan;

18And take your father and your households, and come unto me: and I will give you the good of the land of Egypt, and ye shall eat the fat of the land.

19Now thou art commanded, this do ye; take you wagons out of the land of Egypt for your little ones, and for your wives, and bring your father, and come.

20Also regard not your stuff; for the good of all the land of Egypt is yours.

Genesis 45:17-20

Biblical Context

Pharaoh instructs Joseph's brothers to return to Canaan with their families and come to Egypt, where they will enjoy the land's abundance and be provided for. He also tells them not to concern themselves with their possessions, for the good of the land is theirs.

Neville's Inner Vision

Pharaoh's command in this story is not merely governance of a nation; it is the language of your inner world awakening to abundance. Joseph represents the I AM, the unwavering awareness that stands in a land of plenty, while his brothers symbolize scattered thoughts clinging to old conditions. The instruction to lade your beasts, gather wagons, and come to the good of the land is a directive to move your entire consciousness into a new state; you arm yourself with the mental tools of movement and choice, not with outward carts alone. Bringing your father and your households speaks to gathering your central beliefs, identities, and loves into alignment with this new state. Regard not your stuff; it is a release from the old lack-forwarding story; it is the realization that possessions are outward symbols of an inward economy already guaranteed by I AM. The promise that the good of all the land is yours is the heartbeat of your present experience when you dwell as I AM—accessible here and now. So assume abundance; feel it as your immediate reality, and move there in imagination.
