Inner Land Allocation

Joshua 17:14-16 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Joshua 17 in context

Scripture Focus

14And the children of Joseph spake unto Joshua, saying, Why hast thou given me but one lot and one portion to inherit, seeing I am a great people, forasmuch as the LORD hath blessed me hitherto?
15And Joshua answered them, If thou be a great people, then get thee up to the wood country, and cut down for thyself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the giants, if mount Ephraim be too narrow for thee.
16And the children of Joseph said, The hill is not enough for us: and all the Canaanites that dwell in the land of the valley have chariots of iron, both they who are of Bethshean and her towns, and they who are of the valley of Jezreel.
Joshua 17:14-16

Biblical Context

Joseph's tribe asks Joshua for more land, claiming they are blessed and many. Joshua answers by inviting them to expand into the wood country, showing that true abundance arises from inner growth.

Neville's Inner Vision

Joseph's children cry for more land because they see themselves as a great people blessed by the LORD. Yet Joshua does not command a military campaign; he invites them to rise in imagination, to move into the wood country and cut down the Perizzites and the giants if their present hill is too narrow. In this reading, territory is inner state, not a map. 'Land' is what you assume to be true in your own consciousness, the place you dwell as fact. The giants are stubborn habits and the chariots of iron the disciplined fears that seem invincible, yet they are only memories within mind. When you claim a larger domain, you do not beat reality into shape; you acknowledge the I AM within and align with that infinite supply. Joshua's voice becomes your higher self, urging you to see abundance as a condition of the soul and to dissolve limitation by revision and feeling it real. The call is simple: believe first in the expanded territory, and the world will yield its borders to your I AM.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Close your eyes, assume the larger land is yours now, declare 'I AM that I AM, I have expanded my inner country.' Visualize moving into the wood country, cutting down giants, and feel the sense of abundance filling your life.
