Caleb’s Inner Inheritance

Joshua 14:6-9 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Joshua 14 in context

Scripture Focus

6Then the children of Judah came unto Joshua in Gilgal: and Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite said unto him, Thou knowest the thing that the LORD said unto Moses the man of God concerning me and thee in Kadeshbarnea.
7Forty years old was I when Moses the servant of the LORD sent me from Kadeshbarnea to espy out the land; and I brought him word again as it was in mine heart.
8Nevertheless my brethren that went up with me made the heart of the people melt: but I wholly followed the LORD my God.
9And Moses sware on that day, saying, Surely the land whereon thy feet have trodden shall be thine inheritance, and thy children's for ever, because thou hast wholly followed the LORD my God.
Joshua 14:6-9

Biblical Context

Caleb recalls Moses’ word about him and Joshua in Kadeshbarnea, insisting that he wholly followed the LORD. Despite the fear of others, he believes the land is his inherited promise.

Neville's Inner Vision

Caleb's memory of Moses' word is not history but a present spiritual activity. In Gilgal, the I AM listens to the promise and permits the heart to rest in the vision of the land as an inner state already determined. Forty years from Kadesh-barnea, Caleb says the land is in mind first—what he breathed into being inwardly becomes outward reality. The fear-mongering of the brothers melted the crowd, yet he wholly followed the LORD my God, which is to say he remained faithful to the inner law. Moses’ oath is the law of consciousness: the land you trod with your feet is the land you inhabit in consciousness. For us, inheritance is the end-state we affirm and endure in imagination. When you persist in that end—seeing yourself already there, feeling the victory, and acting from that certainty—the outer geography aligns with your inner geography.

Practice This Now

Assume the end: close your eyes and declare, 'I wholly follow the LORD my God, and the land is mine now.' Then feel the joy of possession as if you are already there.
