I Will Come Again: Inner Burial

Genesis 50:5 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Genesis 50 in context

Scripture Focus

5My father made me swear, saying, Lo, I die: in my grave which I have digged for me in the land of Canaan, there shalt thou bury me. Now therefore let me go up, I pray thee, and bury my father, and I will come again.
Genesis 50:5

Biblical Context

Joseph states his father's request to bury him in Canaan and promises he will come again after doing so.

Neville's Inner Vision

From Neville's perspective, the command is not about geography but about the state you inhabit. The father is the memory of a vow baked into your consciousness—the I AM that remembers a promised land within you. The grave dug in the land of promise represents a deliberate burial of a past limitation inside the fertile soil of your present awareness. To bury in the land of promise is to seed a new state of being in the land of promise you are willing to inhabit. The phrase I will come again becomes the assurance that, once the old posture is laid to rest, you will reemerge into a higher sense of self. The oath binds you to obedience, but obedience here is to the end you choose, not to any external authority. By choosing to plant this pledge in your inner landscape, you align with a future that already exists in your consciousness and begin to feel it as real right now.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, replay the scene inside, and revise it to your state now: I bury the old self in my inner Canaan and I will come again as my renewed self.
