Neville Goddard on Leviticus 13:18-23 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Leviticus 13 in context

Scripture Focus

18The flesh also, in which, even in the skin thereof, was a boil, and is healed,

19And in the place of the boil there be a white rising, or a bright spot, white, and somewhat reddish, and it be shewed to the priest;

20And if, when the priest seeth it, behold, it be in sight lower than the skin, and the hair thereof be turned white; the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a plague of leprosy broken out of the boil.

21But if the priest look on it, and, behold, there be no white hairs therein, and if it be not lower than the skin, but be somewhat dark; then the priest shall shut him up seven days:

22And if it spread much abroad in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a plague.

23But if the bright spot stay in his place, and spread not, it is a burning boil; and the priest shall pronounce him clean.

Leviticus 13:18-23

Biblical Context

Leviticus 13:18-23 describes how a healed boil can leave a white or dark spot; the priest's judgment depends on the spot's look and whether it spreads, determining cleanliness or impurity.

Neville's Inner Vision

Suppose you are the I AM, the watcher and governor of your states. The boil once healed in the body represents a past belief resolved in your consciousness; yet the scriptural sign—the white rising—appears as an inner condition asking to be recognized. If, when you observe it, you discern that it sits lower than your usual self and the hair has whitened, then the inner priest pronounces, 'unclean, a plague of leprosy broken out of the boil'—that is, a belief now ruling you and needing to be undone by revision. If, on the other hand, there are no white hairs and the mark lies on the surface, you are to wait seven days, to hold your attention steady and not feed the thought; if it spreads, it is a plague; but if the bright spot remains in place and does not spread, it is a burning boil and you are clean. The practice is simple: treat every such sign as a signal to revise the state of consciousness, affirm your essential purity, and let the old limitation burn away in your awareness.

Practice This Now

Practice: In a quiet moment, imagine the I AM inspecting a figurative spot on your skin. Revise it to 'I am clean,' feel the certainty of purity, and let that feeling erase the sign from your inner sight.
