Inner Provision in Famine
Genesis 47:15-17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Genesis 47 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Genesis 47:15-17 shows money failing and people trading cattle for bread. Joseph feeds them in exchange for their livestock, signaling a shift from monetary wealth to provision.
Neville's Inner Vision
Viewed through the I AM, money's failure is only a story your consciousness has told itself until this moment. In this passage, the land speaks as your mind; famine is the void in which old means of security seem to perish. Joseph, the inner administrator of your imagining, says, 'Give your cattle and I will give you bread for your cattle'—a symbolic barter where external forms yield to inner nourishment. The bread is not a commodity but the movement of consciousness itself: a new state arising when you refuse to identify with lack and you cooperate with the inner provisioning. As you accept bread in exchange for your herd, you are renewing your relation with abundance, not by grasping more stuff but by establishing a steady state of sufficiency within. The years of famine denote the duration you hold a belief in scarcity; the bread for all their cattle for that year marks a shift from patchwork provision to a sustained inner supply that persists as you persist in the assumption of I AM fullness.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Sit quietly and assume you are the I AM, already housing bread within. Declare, 'I am abundance,' and imagine Joseph handing you bread in exchange for your fears, feeling gratitude rise as the mind shifts from lack to sufficiency.
