Genesis 46:26

Biblical Context

The verse tallies the people who traveled with Jacob into Egypt, totaling sixty-six souls, not counting Jacob’s wives.

Neville's Inner Vision

Genesis 46:26 is not a census of bodies but a reading of your inner company. The ‘souls’ that went with Jacob into Egypt are the states of consciousness you bring with you into a new situation. Egypt stands for a fresh condition in your life, and the sixty-six souls represent your inner loyalties—family, unity, covenant faithfulness, and community—held together by your I AM awareness. The phrase ‘came out of his loins’ hints these dispositions arise from the center of your being as seed-born faculties. Neville teaches that you do not change the external scene; you awaken the scene inside by recognizing these elements exist as envisioned states within you. When you acknowledge the 66 as your present inner inventory, you align with the truth that the Kingdom of God is already within, formed by faith, loyalty, and unity. By shifting your inner count, you alter your outward life.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly and imagine the 66 inner states you carry as your companions into this moment. Name a few—unity, loyalty, faith—and feel their presence as real now, declaring, I AM the consciousness commanding this inner company.
