Neville Goddard on Genesis 50:24-26 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Genesis 50 in context

Scripture Focus

24And Joseph said unto his brethren, I die: and God will surely visit you, and bring you out of this land unto the land which he sware to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.

25And Joseph took an oath of the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you, and ye shall carry up my bones from hence.

26So Joseph died, being an hundred and ten years old: and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.

Genesis 50:24-26

Biblical Context

Joseph tells his brothers he is dying, asserts that God will visit them and bring them out of Egypt to the land promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and asks them to carry his bones; he dies and is embalmed in Egypt.

Neville's Inner Vision

Joseph’s declaration I die marks not a final ending but a releasing of a limiting self-conception. In Neville terms, the true God is the I AM within you, and the promise God will visit you is the inner awakening of awareness that liberates you from the dream of bondage. The land he speaks of—the land promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—symbolizes the inner kingdom of consciousness you may enter right now, a state in which covenant faith is realized as presence rather than history. The oath about carrying his bones becomes a vow to remember the immutable covenant, a reminder that the memory of the divine promise remains active within your mind even as outer scenes unfold. Joseph’s physical death in Egypt illustrates that outward endings do not erase the decree of liberation; the inner visitation persists, and the kingdom awaits your acknowledgment. Your life therefore is a journey from perceived confinement into realized liberty through the power of awareness.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes and affirm, 'I am delivered now.' Feel the sense of crossing from limitation into the promised land as the inner I AM anchors your awareness.
