Inner Garment Cleansing

Leviticus 13:53-54 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Leviticus 13 in context

Scripture Focus

53And if the priest shall look, and, behold, the plague be not spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of skin;
54Then the priest shall command that they wash the thing wherein the plague is, and he shall shut it up seven days more:
Leviticus 13:53-54

Biblical Context

The priest checks a garment for a plague; if the plague has not spread, the garment is washed and kept for seven more days. The ritual implies purification and a period of preparation before full restoration.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the symbolic Leviticus scene, the garment stands for your mental attire—the beliefs, fears, and stories you wear. When the priest finds no spread of the plague, the wash becomes a decisive act: you reset the appearance of yourself. In Neville's terms, the plague is a persistent sense of limitation, a belief that some stain defines you. The inspection is your conscious attention, turning toward the inner cause rather than the outer scene. The washing is imagining a new state of awareness washing away old patterns, as if the water erases the fear and reveals the sturdy fabric of the I AM you already are. The seven extra days of seclusion symbolize a holding period in imagination, allowing the new identity to become the natural condition of you. Through this ritual of inner check and revision, you refuse to project limitation into your life: you acknowledge no spread, you cleanse, and you announce the outcome with the certainty of I AM. The outward ritual mirrors the inward conviction that renewal is a present achievement.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Quietly assume the role of the priest of your mind. Inspect a belief you deem stained, then imagine washing it away and sit in a seven-day inner pause as the new state settles.
