Neville Goddard on Leviticus 10:8-15 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Leviticus 10 in context

Scripture Focus

8And the LORD spake unto Aaron, saying,

9Do not drink wine nor strong drink, thou, nor thy sons with thee, when ye go into the tabernacle of the congregation, lest ye die: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations:

10And that ye may put difference between holy and unholy, and between unclean and clean;

11And that ye may teach the children of Israel all the statutes which the LORD hath spoken unto them by the hand of Moses.

12And Moses spake unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar, his sons that were left, Take the meat offering that remaineth of the offerings of the LORD made by fire, and eat it without leaven beside the altar: for it is most holy:

13And ye shall eat it in the holy place, because it is thy due, and thy sons' due, of the sacrifices of the LORD made by fire: for so I am commanded.

14And the wave breast and heave shoulder shall ye eat in a clean place; thou, and thy sons, and thy daughters with thee: for they be thy due, and thy sons' due, which are given out of the sacrifices of peace offerings of the children of Israel.

15The heave shoulder and the wave breast shall they bring with the offerings made by fire of the fat, to wave it for a wave offering before the LORD; and it shall be thine, and thy sons' with thee, by a statute for ever; as the LORD hath commanded.

Leviticus 10:8-15

Biblical Context

The passage commands Aaron and his sons to refrain from wine before entering the tabernacle, keeping clear discernment between holy and common. It also details the eating and sharing of offerings as an inner order and discipline commanded by God.

Neville's Inner Vision

In your present consciousness, the tabernacle is the sanctuary within. The prohibition on wine teaches that no intoxication of imagination may enter the holy place where you stand in the I AM. To distinguish between holy and unholy is not about externals but about which states of mind you permit to dwell in you. The meat offering without leaven becomes the pure sustenance of life—unfooled by ego’s yeast—taken within the holy place as your due. The wave breast and the heave shoulder are outward tokens of gratitude, performed in a clean, intentional space, proving that your peace offerings flow from inner harmony. The command is an invitation to align with your higher self, to trust the inner law that governs experience rather than being ruled by appearances. As you revise belief and feel it real, you will perceive the world responding to the holiness you have decided and maintained within.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly and assume the I AM presence. Repeat: I am pure, clear, and fully present; I taste the most holy nourishment of awareness, feeding on pure thoughts and gratitude, free from ego.
