Purification of the Inner Camp

Joshua 7:13-15 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Joshua 7 in context

Scripture Focus

13Up, sanctify the people, and say, Sanctify yourselves against to morrow: for thus saith the LORD God of Israel, There is an accursed thing in the midst of thee, O Israel: thou canst not stand before thine enemies, until ye take away the accursed thing from among you.
14In the morning therefore ye shall be brought according to your tribes: and it shall be, that the tribe which the LORD taketh shall come according to the families thereof; and the family which the LORD shall take shall come by households; and the household which the LORD shall take shall come man by man.
15And it shall be, that he that is taken with the accursed thing shall be burnt with fire, he and all that he hath: because he hath transgressed the covenant of the LORD, and because he hath wrought folly in Israel.
Joshua 7:13-15

Biblical Context

Israel is told to sanctify themselves and remove the accursed thing from among them, or they cannot stand before their enemies. The procedure divides by tribe and family to identify the offender, who is then punished, restoring the covenant through purification.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within your inner Jerusalem, there is an accursed thing - perhaps a lingering fear, a vanity, a restless desire - that blocks your stand against life's enemies. The command to sanctify is not a ritual of others; it is your decision to align your mind with the I AM, to remove the stumblings you have harbored as truth. When you identify the tribe and family within your consciousness that has yielded to that mistaken energy, you are called to purge it, to remove it from the midst of your mental nation. The covenant is your agreement with God as I AM, the law of your true nature; transgression is simply a belief that you are separate from that law. As you revise and forgive, the inner tribe that remains is the one the I AM will take, the one that can stand before imagined enemies unshaken. The fire is symbolic of awareness burning away attachment to limitation, judgment, and fear, until Israel - the sacred self - walks intact in divine order.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Close your eyes and declare, 'I am sanctified now; there is no accursed thing in me.' Visualize a bright flame sweeping through your mind, purging fear, doubt, and separation, leaving divine order intact.
