Neville Goddard on Leviticus 14:4-7 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Leviticus 14 in context

Scripture Focus

4Then shall the priest command to take for him that is to be cleansed two birds alive and clean, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop:

5And the priest shall command that one of the birds be killed in an earthen vessel over running water:

6As for the living bird, he shall take it, and the cedar wood, and the scarlet, and the hyssop, and shall dip them and the living bird in the blood of the bird that was killed over the running water:

7And he shall sprinkle upon him that is to be cleansed from the leprosy seven times, and shall pronounce him clean, and shall let the living bird loose into the open field.

Leviticus 14:4-7

Biblical Context

The priest commands two birds, cedar, scarlet, and hyssop for cleansing. One bird is killed over running water; its blood is used to dip the living bird, which is then sprinkled seven times on the cleansed person and the living bird released.

Neville's Inner Vision

Leviticus speaks of an outer rite, but the inner meaning is yours to claim. The two birds symbolize two states of consciousness: the old self that must die in your awareness, and the living self that remains open to life. The killed bird in running water marks the turning of attention away from fear into the flow of life—what you call running water is your awareness moving through forms. Dip the living bird in its blood and let it carry with it the reality of that sacrifice; in your imagination, the living bird becomes your renewed I AM, dipped in the truth that nothing impure can remain where awareness loves. As the priest sprinkles seven times, you repeat, in the present tense, your new state until the sense of purity is established. Finally release the living bird into the open field, which is your world—your next scene—where the changed consciousness is free to act. The sevenfold cleansing is not external ritual but an inner cadence that pronounces you clean, whole, and ready to go forth.

Practice This Now

Assume you are already cleansed; feel the release of the old self. In a moment of quiet, imagine the living bird released into an open field as you declare, I am clean, I am whole, I am free—and let that feeling carry you into your next action.
