Neville Goddard on Leviticus 13:4-5 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Leviticus 13 in context

Scripture Focus

4If the bright spot be white in the skin of his flesh, and in sight be not deeper than the skin, and the hair thereof be not turned white; then the priest shall shut up him that hath the plague seven days:

5And the priest shall look on him the seventh day: and, behold, if the plague in his sight be at a stay, and the plague spread not in the skin; then the priest shall shut him up seven days more:

Leviticus 13:4-5

Biblical Context

Leviticus 13:4-5 describes a ritual of inspecting a skin blemish over seven days; if the condition remains contained, another seven days of quarantine follow.

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider the bright spot as a symbol, not a sickness, a state of consciousness revealing itself in your awareness. The seven days of inspection are cycles of attention, during which you observe whether the belief in limitation stays shallow or begins to spread. The priest is your inner I AM—the presence that looks, judges, and decides what stays within the skin of experience. When you assent to 'shut him up,' you are not punishing a body but disciplining a mind: you choose not to feed the illusion with new images. If the inner sight shows the condition remains at the surface, and fear has not deepened its color, you grant another seven days of calm, inward watching. The living practice is simple: assume you are already clean, and feel the truth that the plague cannot spread in the light you are. By dwelling in the feeling of the wish fulfilled, you turn the mental weather and let the I AM seal the space, making purity real in your inner kingdom.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: for seven consecutive days, rehearse the inner inspection and end with the declaration, 'I AM healed,' then feel the purity as your lived reality. Let the feeling of I AM steady you until it becomes the only state you know.
