Read Leviticus 11 in context

Scripture Focus

24And for these ye shall be unclean: whosoever toucheth the carcase of them shall be unclean until the even.

25And whosoever beareth ought of the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even.

26The carcases of every beast which divideth the hoof, and is not clovenfooted, nor cheweth the cud, are unclean unto you: every one that toucheth them shall be unclean.

27And whatsoever goeth upon his paws, among all manner of beasts that go on all four, those are unclean unto you: whoso toucheth their carcase shall be unclean until the even.

28And he that beareth the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: they are unclean unto you.

Leviticus 11:24-28

Biblical Context

The passage sets boundaries that touching carcasses renders one ceremonially unclean until evening, with washing and returning to cleanliness by sunset, and designates certain animals as unclean.

Neville's Inner Vision

In this moment you stand at the boundary of two states: the old belief in lack and the awakened I AM. The carcase is not a physical corpse but a stale idea you have mistaken for yourself. When you touch it you feel unclean because you have identified with what is dying. The rule 'until the even' teaches that such states pass with the day’s end, and the washing of clothes is your mental practice to change outward expression to reflect a living state. To live by this is to revise: replace the worn thought with a living, present I AM. Feel the water wash away the belief; feel your inner garment renewed. If you doubt, pretend until belief follows; feel it real as you go about your day. By doing so you align with the truth that your reality is the I AM you awaken to within.

Practice This Now

Assume, right now, that you are the I AM and that you are clean. Visualize washing your clothes and feel the renewal of your inner garment; dwell in the sensation of I AM awareness for one minute and let that state replace the old unclean feeling.
