Neville Goddard on Genesis 45:9-11 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Genesis 45 in context

Scripture Focus

9Haste ye, and go up to my father, and say unto him, Thus saith thy son Joseph, God hath made me lord of all Egypt: come down unto me, tarry not:

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:

11And there will I nourish thee; for yet there are five years of famine; lest thou, and thy household, and all that thou hast, come to poverty.

Genesis 45:9-11

Biblical Context

Joseph tells his father to come to Egypt, declaring that God has made him lord of all Egypt; they will live in Goshen and be nourished during the famine.

Neville's Inner Vision

Joseph’s proclamation is a symbol of consciousness, not mere history. When he says God hath made him lord of all Egypt, he names the inner I AM that governs every appearance. Egypt represents outward conditions; Goshen is the nourishing center of awareness where you are supplied. The famine signifies lack in the mind, yet true supply flows from the realization that you, as I AM, are sovereign. Your father stands for your higher self, the source within; moving to Egypt mirrors the return to the functional center of consciousness that commands manifestations. This is about inhabiting the royal state, not physical relocation. Observe how the outer scene rearranges to reflect your inner order once you dwell in that sovereign status. Begin now by believing you are nourished; your assumption creates the nourishment your life seeks.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Tonight, close your eyes and imagine you are Joseph, declaring to your Father, 'God hath made me lord of all'; then picture you and your family dwelling in Goshen, nourished through the famine. Keep the feeling of abundance until sleep.
