Adopted Seed of Abundance
Genesis 48:4-7 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Genesis 48 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jacob declares Ephraim and Manasseh as his own heirs and promises fruitfulness and an enduring possession of land, framing blessing as an inner inheritance for the seed of Jacob.
Neville's Inner Vision
In this scene your outer lineage mirrors an inner shift. The two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, symbolize twin capacities within your consciousness that you may claim as yours. When Jacob says they shall be mine, he teaches that you must appropriate certain inner traits as your own True Self—traits that, once embraced, multiply and bear fruit in your life. The land promised is not a map but the field of awareness where your choices take root; fruitfulness arises as you entertain these inner tendencies as permanent possessions in your identity. The line about ‘thy issue… shall be thine’ points to a future you birth from the present I AM, naming it after the inner brethren to integrate diverse parts of self. Rachel’s death on the road, leading to Bethlehem, signals the necessity of letting go old self-concepts on the inner journey to the birthplace of true nourishment. The everlasting possession is the living law of consciousness—what you affirm inwardly in faith becomes your outward experience, preserved forever by your inner covenant.
Practice This Now
Imaginatively adopt two inner seeds as yours today; close your eyes and say, 'I claim Ephraim and Manasseh as mine, and I am fruitful in this land of my consciousness.'
