Naphtali's Inner Names
Genesis 46:24 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Genesis 46 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Genesis 46:24 simply names Naphtali’s four sons: Jahzeel, Guni, Jezer, and Shillem.
Neville's Inner Vision
Viewed through the inner vision, those four names are not history but four states of consciousness arising in the mind. Naphtali, the swift energy within me, bears a line of offspring that represents distinct attitudes I can live by in my family arena and in every relationship. Jahzeel, Guni, Jezer, and Shillem symbolize quickness of perception, steady faith, clear purpose, and peaceful union—the whispered movements behind any outward act. When I dwell in the I AM, these inner sons become present as I imagine my household and my affairs already complete, already harmonious. They are not outside events to chase; they are the living vibrations of my inner life. By naming them, I organize the inner economy; by accepting them as already real, I align my outer environment with their truth. The text invites me to recognize that the family, the marriage, the intimate circle, are all fruits of inner abundance—grown first in awareness, then in form.
Practice This Now
Choose one inner state—Jahzeel, Guni, Jezer, or Shillem—and assume it is already yours. Sit quietly, breathe, and feel the room rearranging to reflect that presence as real.
