Neville Goddard on Genesis 49:22-26 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Genesis 49 in context

Scripture Focus

22Joseph is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well; whose branches run over the wall:

23The archers have sorely grieved him, and shot at him, and hated him:

24But his bow abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob; (from thence is the shepherd, the stone of Israel:)

25Even by the God of thy father, who shall help thee; and by the Almighty, who shall bless thee with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that lieth under, blessings of the breasts, and of the womb:

26The blessings of thy father have prevailed above the blessings of my progenitors unto the utmost bound of the everlasting hills: they shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him that was separate from his brethren.

Genesis 49:22-26

Biblical Context

Joseph is described as a fruitful branch by a well whose growth overflows the wall; despite archers who harass and hate him, his strength remains because of the hand of the mighty God of Jacob. The blessing comes from God and endures to give abundance from above, the depths, and the womb.

Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine you are Joseph, the living state you presently inhabit. I am a fruitful bough by a well, my branches running over the wall, because the I AM within nourishes me. The archers are mere thoughts that shoot at my sense of separation; yet my bow abides in strength as the hands of the mighty God of Jacob mold me from within. From this inner strength comes the shepherd, the stone of Israel—the law that orders my life. By the God of my father who shall help me, and by the Almighty who blesses me with heaven above, the deep beneath, and the nurturing breasts and womb, I am blessed. These blessings are not distant favors but inner states I cultivate. The blessing of my father prevails beyond measure to the utmost hills, resting on my head, the crown of awareness I wear as I stand separate from fear. I am that crown, and all the world conforms to my inner vision once I remain in the consciousness of abundance.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Close your eyes and assume you are Joseph, the fruitful bough by the well. Feel the inner blessing as your current reality and revise any lack by affirming that heaven’s abundance is your true state.
