Neville Goddard on Leviticus 1:10-13 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Leviticus 1 in context

Scripture Focus

10And if his offering be of the flocks, namely, of the sheep, or of the goats, for a burnt sacrifice; he shall bring it a male without blemish.

11And he shall kill it on the side of the altar northward before the LORD: and the priests, Aaron's sons, shall sprinkle his blood round about upon the altar.

12And he shall cut it into his pieces, with his head and his fat: and the priest shall lay them in order on the wood that is on the fire which is upon the altar:

13But he shall wash the inwards and the legs with water: and the priest shall bring it all, and burn it upon the altar: it is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.

Leviticus 1:10-13

Biblical Context

Leviticus 1:10-13 describes bringing a blemish-free male from the flocks, having priests prepare and burn it on the altar as a fragrant offering. It points to an inner devotion and a standard of purity in worship.

Neville's Inner Vision

Picture the Leviticus scene as a living map of consciousness. The flock represents parts of your mind you are willing to bring into a state of pure life before the I AM. The blemishless male is your decision to stand as intact awareness, unshadowed by fear or doubt. The killing at the altar and the sprinkling of blood become inner acts of acknowledgement and release—awareness moving around every thought, cleansing the inward pathways, and paving the way for a fresh initiation. When the pieces are laid on the wood and burned, you are rehearsing a continuous revision: you consent to burn away old identifications, habits, and grievances that obstruct your present sense of unity. The washing of the inner parts is the mind’s willingness to be cleansed by the perception that God is within, and the sweet savour is the moment you sense that your life is a pleasing offering to the I AM. In this view, ritual is not distant ceremony but the daily practice of becoming what you already are in consciousness.

Practice This Now

Practice: sit quietly, embody the state 'I AM' as the one unblemished self; mentally place your whole life on the inner altar, declare 'I am purified by consciousness,' and feel the inner fire refining you into harmony.
