Read Leviticus 14 in context

Scripture Focus

33And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,

34When ye be come into the land of Canaan, which I give to you for a possession, and I put the plague of leprosy in a house of the land of your possession;

35And he that owneth the house shall come and tell the priest, saying, It seemeth to me there is as it were a plague in the house:

36Then the priest shall command that they empty the house, before the priest go into it to see the plague, that all that is in the house be not made unclean: and afterward the priest shall go in to see the house:

37And he shall look on the plague, and, behold, if the plague be in the walls of the house with hollow strakes, greenish or reddish, which in sight are lower than the wall;

38Then the priest shall go out of the house to the door of the house, and shut up the house seven days:

39And the priest shall come again the seventh day, and shall look: and, behold, if the plague be spread in the walls of the house;

40Then the priest shall command that they take away the stones in which the plague is, and they shall cast them into an unclean place without the city:

41And he shall cause the house to be scraped within round about, and they shall pour out the dust that they scrape off without the city into an unclean place:

42And they shall take other stones, and put them in the place of those stones; and he shall take other morter, and shall plaister the house.

43And if the plague come again, and break out in the house, after that he hath taken away the stones, and after he hath scraped the house, and after it is plaistered;

44Then the priest shall come and look, and, behold, if the plague be spread in the house, it is a fretting leprosy in the house: it is unclean.

45And he shall break down the house, the stones of it, and the timber thereof, and all the morter of the house; and he shall carry them forth out of the city into an unclean place.

Leviticus 14:33-45

Biblical Context

The text describes cleansing a house by inspection, removal of the plague-bearing stones, scraping and rebuilding; if the plague recurs, the house is broken down.

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed as Neville would, Leviticus 14:33-45 becomes a map of the inner state. The 'house' is the mind, the 'plague' a stubborn belief, and the priest an inner faculty of awareness—the I AM—that inspects without condemnation. When you perceive the plague, you own the house and permit the inner priest to guide the removal of the offending stones, the scraping of old mortar, and the laying of fresh plaster with new intention. The seven days of isolation mirror the period you allow your assumed state to work, not by force but by patient, continuous revision. If the pestilence returns, you repeat the purification, seeing it as feedback rather than finality, until the house bears only fresh construction. As you carry the old to the unclean place and welcome the new, you awaken to the land of Canaan within—the state of purity, holiness, and restored order that arises when consciousness dwells in the finished state.

Practice This Now

Take a moment now to imagine your mind as a small house. When a limiting thought arises, tell the inner priest (your I AM) to remove that stone and replace it with a new one, then feel the walls being repaired and the dust carried away; dwell in the renewed room for a moment as your living reality.
