Inner Boundaries of Belonging

Joshua 18:15-20 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Joshua 18 in context

Scripture Focus

15And the south quarter was from the end of Kirjathjearim, and the border went out on the west, and went out to the well of waters of Nephtoah:
16And the border came down to the end of the mountain that lieth before the valley of the son of Hinnom, and which is in the valley of the giants on the north, and descended to the valley of Hinnom, to the side of Jebusi on the south, and descended to Enrogel,
17And was drawn from the north, and went forth to Enshemesh, and went forth toward Geliloth, which is over against the going up of Adummim, and descended to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben,
18And passed along toward the side over against Arabah northward, and went down unto Arabah:
19And the border passed along to the side of Bethhoglah northward: and the outgoings of the border were at the north bay of the salt sea at the south end of Jordan: this was the south coast.
20And Jordan was the border of it on the east side. This was the inheritance of the children of Benjamin, by the coasts thereof round about, according to their families.
Joshua 18:15-20

Biblical Context

The verses describe the southern border of Benjamin's inheritance, tracing a line of landmarks to the salt sea, with Jordan as the eastern boundary. The map emphasizes belonging, territory, and the boundaries that frame a people.

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, the passage does not describe geography so much as the boundaries drawn in your awakening. The south border from Kirjathjearim to Enrogel becomes your inner delineation of belonging—landed inside the state of consciousness you allow to stand. Each landmark is a moment of decision: to hold a thought, to release a fear, to remain loyal to the I AM that you truly are. The Jordan on the east marks the enduring boundary between the old self and the realized self that lives in harmony with the whole. When you read the map, you are invited to revise not a nation’s possessions but your own sense of life, to claim as yours only what aligns with the covenant of unity with God I AM. The inheritance described around Benjamin is the inner harmony, the stewardship of your gifts, your relationships, and your time, kept in fidelity to the divine within. The outer boundaries mirror the inner discipline: you are the land and the law; your focus and faith determine what takes root within you.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes and revise your inner map—affirm, I am the I AM, and I claim this land of unity now. Feel the border lines soften and settle around your heart, and let covenant loyalty flow into every decision.
