Neville Goddard on Joshua 13:29-31 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Joshua 13 in context

Scripture Focus

29And Moses gave inheritance unto the half tribe of Manasseh: and this was the possession of the half tribe of the children of Manasseh by their families.

30And their coast was from Mahanaim, all Bashan, all the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, and all the towns of Jair, which are in Bashan, threescore cities:

31And half Gilead, and Ashtaroth, and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, were pertaining unto the children of Machir the son of Manasseh, even to the one half of the children of Machir by their families.

Joshua 13:29-31

Biblical Context

Moses distributes land to the half-tribe of Manasseh, specifying their inheritance by family and by region. The account reads like a map of possessions, outlining the borders and cities within their domain.

Neville's Inner Vision

Where Joshua 13:29-31 speaks of an inheritance, I hear only states of consciousness. The land Moses apportions is the map of your own inner being; the I AM assigns stations within you. Manasseh’s half-tribe, with its defined coast from Mahanaim to Bashan and the towns of Jair, stands for distinct habits, loves, goals, and purposes you have consented to own. The boundaries are not borders on earth but territories you have claimed in awareness. The kingdoms—Og in Bashan—are the larger appetites and fears that can command your attention; the children of Machir by their families describe the lineages of your decisions, inherited by your present sense of self. Remember: all this exists within you because your imagination creates reality and you, in your I AM, authorize it. The practical truth is that you can reimagine and revise these lands at will, until you experience them as already possessed by your true nature.
