Neville Goddard on Leviticus 13:18-27 - 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.

24Or if there be any flesh, in the skin whereof there is a hot burning, and the quick flesh that burneth have a white bright spot, somewhat reddish, or white;

25Then the priest shall look upon it: and, behold, if the hair in the bright spot be turned white, and it be in sight deeper than the skin; it is a leprosy broken out of the burning: wherefore the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is the plague of leprosy.

26But if the priest look on it, and, behold, there be no white hair in the bright spot, and it be no lower than the other skin, but be somewhat dark; then the priest shall shut him up seven days:

27And the priest shall look upon him the seventh day: and if it be spread much abroad in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is the plague of leprosy.

Leviticus 13:18-27

Biblical Context

Leviticus 13:18-27 presents a scene where a healed boil leaves a white rise. The priest examines signs to declare clean or unclean, shaping what counts as impurity.

Neville's Inner Vision

I tell you, the afflicted flesh and the white spot are not on your skin but within your consciousness. The priest within you is the I AM—the inward judge of belief. When you notice a 'spot' that is deeper than the surface and hair whitened, you call it a plague—leprosy broken out of the burn of fear. That is your old story about separation showing itself. If, however, there is no white hair in the bright spot and the mark stays on the surface, you seal it off for seven days—a pause in belief, a period of inner quiet in which the new you may root. If the spot spreads, it is pronounced unclean; if it remains contained, it is a burning boil that passes and is healed. Remember: the leprosy is a symbol of a thought that has taken hold. Your task is to observe calmly, revise the belief with the truth that I AM, and feel it real until the inner state aligns with wholeness.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly, place a hand on your chest, and declare, I AM the life that fills this body; assume the role of the inner priest and observe the spot as a mere sign, not a truth. Then feel the reality of wholeness, imagining the image remaining steady or dissolving as you hold I AM in every cell.
