Manasseh's Warland Inheritance

Joshua 17:1 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Joshua 17 in context

Scripture Focus

1There was also a lot for the tribe of Manasseh; for he was the firstborn of Joseph; to wit, for Machir the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead: because he was a man of war, therefore he had Gilead and Bashan.
Joshua 17:1

Biblical Context

Manasseh receives land because Machir, his warrior forebear, was a man of war; the verse links inheritance to inner courage and ownership. The land is an outer symbol of inner territory.

Neville's Inner Vision

Your inner country is the stage of consciousness where wealth, peace, and power are claimed. The tribe of Manasseh symbolizes a particular attitude of awareness, and Machir—the firstborn—signifies the leading impulse in you to act. Calling him a man of war reveals that true inheritance comes through inner courage, discipline, and steadfastness in thought. The land names—Gilead and Bashan—are not places on a map but zones of your inner life you inhabit by sustained focus and fearlessness toward limitation. The decree follows your awareness: when you are established in I AM presence, you do not beg for territory; you occupy it by feeling and choosing as if already real. In this sense, the verse is a practical reminder that battles within—doubt, compromise, hesitation—seed the outer sense of possession. By aligning with the reality of your creative I AM, you unlock a larger inner kingdom. The inheritance is thus a moment of psychological ownership, where your inner stance creates outward results in your life.

Practice This Now

Practice: Assume Machir’s warrior stance toward your inner life. Close your eyes, feel ownership of the inner lands Gilead and Bashan, and affirm 'I AM the ruler of this inner land,' letting the feeling be real.
