Inner Land, Divine Provision

Genesis 47:20-22 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Genesis 47 in context

Scripture Focus

20And Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh; for the Egyptians sold every man his field, because the famine prevailed over them: so the land became Pharaoh's.
21And as for the people, he removed them to cities from one end of the borders of Egypt even to the other end thereof.
22Only the land of the priests bought he not; for the priests had a portion assigned them of Pharaoh, and did eat their portion which Pharaoh gave them: wherefore they sold not their lands.
Genesis 47:20-22

Biblical Context

Joseph buys all Egyptian land for Pharaoh during the famine; the land becomes Pharaoh's. The people are relocated to cities, while the priests' lands are not bought.

Neville's Inner Vision

Picture the Genesis scene as a map of your inner kingdom. Joseph is the active I AM, the ruler of your conscious mind who negotiates with famine—the lack you fear—by placing all you call worldly land under Pharaoh, the divine authority within you. The sale of land represents the conversion of outer circumstance into a condition under divine governance. The relocation of the people to cities mirrors a shift of attention to new centers of life, new habits, and new ways you carry yourself in the world. The priests, who are not taxed or dispossessed, symbolize the sacred faculties—wisdom, reverence, and service—that must retain their portion; they are not sold because they are the channel through which your inner wealth is fed. In this light, the kingdom of God appears as an inner ownership—your awareness securing the land, distributing it through the mind, and feeding the people of your life with the sustenance of Spirit. When you accept that the I AM owns the land, you stop seeking outward permission and begin stewarding your inner estate with gratitude and confidence, knowing abundance follows rightful rule.

Practice This Now

Assume in imagination that the land of Egypt is your outer life now owned by the I AM within you. Revise any lack by affirming I am the land and the I AM possesses it; abundance is my natural state.
