Genesis 50:15-18 Forgiveness Unfolded

Genesis 50:15-18 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Genesis 50 in context

Scripture Focus

15And when Joseph's brethren saw that their father was dead, they said, Joseph will peradventure hate us, and will certainly requite us all the evil which we did unto him.
16And they sent a messenger unto Joseph, saying, Thy father did command before he died, saying,
17So shall ye say unto Joseph, Forgive, I pray thee now, the trespass of thy brethren, and their sin; for they did unto thee evil: and now, we pray thee, forgive the trespass of the servants of the God of thy father. And Joseph wept when they spake unto him.
18And his brethren also went and fell down before his face; and they said, Behold, we be thy servants.
Genesis 50:15-18

Biblical Context

Jacob's death leaves Joseph's brothers fearing punishment for their wrongs; they seek forgiveness, Joseph weeps, and they bow to serve him.

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville's light, the brothers' fear of retaliation is not a historical fact but a state of consciousness arising in the wake of a perceived loss. The death of the father symbolizes the end of an old agreement with circumstance, revealing that forgiveness must be claimed within. Joseph’s tears signal the breakdown of the old story and the awakening to a higher alignment—the I AM within you—where mercy flows freely. The act of bowing and declaring themselves as servants is the inner admission that guilt and separation are but thoughts to be revised. The true law here is psychological: when you assume forgiveness as your constant state, the memory of harm loses its grip, and reconciliation becomes your present reality. The scene invites you to see every past trespass as an image produced by your own mind, now dissolving in the warmth of inner recognition that you are, always, forgiven and free. Your inner God weeps not for judgment, but for the moment you finally acknowledge you are the source of peace.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and replay the scene in your mind: the fear of punishment bowing to mercy. Silently affirm, 'Forgiven I am, I forgive,' and feel the release as the inner image brightens and the I AM within you smiles.
