Inner Inheritance of Daughters

Joshua 17:3-4 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Joshua 17 in context

Scripture Focus

3But Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, had no sons, but daughters: and these are the names of his daughters, Mahlah, and Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.
4And they came near before Eleazar the priest, and before Joshua the son of Nun, and before the princes, saying, The LORD commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our brethren. Therefore according to the commandment of the LORD he gave them an inheritance among the brethren of their father.
Joshua 17:3-4

Biblical Context

Zelophehad had no sons, so his daughters Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah asked the leaders for their father's inheritance. The LORD commanded Moses, and he granted them an inheritance among the brothers of their father.

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, the surface tale of Zelophehad's daughters is a doorway into the inner law of your consciousness. Land and lineage in the text are symbols for the possessions of mind: states of awareness, not pedigrees. The daughters' petition shows that life does not wait for a patriarchal form to recognize the rightful heir; when a true claim arises from longing joined with faith, the inner order rearranges itself to honor that claim. In your inner temple, the LORD is the I AM that commands the redistribution of your mental property. Eleazar, Joshua, and the princes symbolize the higher faculties of perception—the priesthood of your awareness—that must hear and endorse your right to a new state. The phrase 'inheritance among the brethren' points to the distribution of your realized being among the 'brethren' of your thoughts and feelings; you are not denied a share of your own divine estate when you learn to claim it. Therefore, assume the position, feel the reality, and allow the outer world to reflect that inner law. The key is not force but a revision of your sense of self until you inhabit the state already granted by God, and the outer scene will align.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes and repeat, 'I am the heir to the entire divine inheritance now.' Dwell in that feeling until it saturates your sense of self, then let your life realign to fit the claim.
