The Levite Within: A Sojourn

Judges 17:8-12 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Judges 17 in context

Scripture Focus

8And the man departed out of the city from Bethlehemjudah to sojourn where he could find a place: and he came to mount Ephraim to the house of Micah, as he journeyed.
9And Micah said unto him, Whence comest thou? And he said unto him, I am a Levite of Bethlehemjudah, and I go to sojourn where I may find a place.
10And Micah said unto him, Dwell with me, and be unto me a father and a priest, and I will give thee ten shekels of silver by the year, and a suit of apparel, and thy victuals. So the Levite went in.
11And the Levite was content to dwell with the man; and the young man was unto him as one of his sons.
12And Micah consecrated the Levite; and the young man became his priest, and was in the house of Micah.
Judges 17:8-12

Biblical Context

A Levite travels seeking a place to stay. He ends up dwelling with Micah and becoming his priest.

Neville's Inner Vision

To the reader, the Levite’s journey is your inner travel: a restless moving of consciousness toward a place where you may fulfill a sacred function. God is the I AM you are aware of; vocation is a state you assume, not a distant job. The ten shekels, the garment, the victuals symbolize inner provision, loyalty, and the energy you allocate to your chosen state. When Micah invites him to dwell and be father and priest, that invitation is the inner command to presume authority within your own kingdom. The Levite’s contentment shows holiness as a settled alignment, a decision to inhabit a definite posture of awareness. Consecration is the inner rite by which a state becomes priestly service to your house—your body, your life, your calling. Wealth and provision come as the natural fruit of that inner alignment, proof that imagination is the source of your reality. Remember, nothing in the outer world moves until you dwell in the one inner place that makes it so.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Close your eyes and assume you already dwell as the inner priest of your own house; feel the state as real now and revise any lack by affirming, I am the provider in my own kingdom.
