Neville Goddard on Joshua 12:6-7 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Joshua 12 in context

Scripture Focus

6Them did Moses the servant of the LORD and the children of Israel smite: and Moses the servant of the LORD gave it for a possession unto the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh.

7And these are the kings of the country which Joshua and the children of Israel smote on this side Jordan on the west, from Baalgad in the valley of Lebanon even unto the mount Halak, that goeth up to Seir; which Joshua gave unto the tribes of Israel for a possession according to their divisions;

Joshua 12:6-7

Biblical Context

Moses, the LORD’s servant, assigns land to Reuben, Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh; Joshua and Israel conquer the western kings and distribute the land by tribe. The passage marks a shift from conquest to possession and governance.

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville’s view the land represents inner states of consciousness and the kings are resistant beliefs. Moses embodies an older, outward-oriented memory self; his act of granting land signals you to fix certain faculties within your inner map. The western kings defeated by Joshua symbolize fears that claim, 'this is not for you,' now conquered by the I AM present within you. As Joshua distributes the land to the tribes, you consciously assign inner territories—courage, faith, peace, and creative power—according to the divisions you choose in imagination. The Jordan crossing becomes the moment you cease playing small and allow the I AM to reign, reordering your inner geography. The overarching message is that the kingdom is not a distant promise but a present reality you cultivate by imagining possession and ruling from within. Your consciousness is the land; your awareness the ruler; your life becomes what you decide to claim and dwell in now.
