Neville Goddard on Leviticus 15:13 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Leviticus 15 in context

Scripture Focus

13And when he that hath an issue is cleansed of his issue; then he shall number to himself seven days for his cleansing, and wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in running water, and shall be clean.

Leviticus 15:13

Biblical Context

Leviticus 15:13 describes a seven-day period after cleansing from an issue, during which one must wash clothes, bathe in running water, and become clean. The act marks not merely a ritual but a state of regained purity.

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville vantage, this verse reveals that the issue is a symbol of a stirred state of mind, and cleansing is an inner conversion of consciousness. When the text says to count seven days, it speaks of a deliberate period during which you align with the I AM, the living awareness that you are. The washing of clothes represents washing away stale self-concepts; bathing in running water stands for saturating the mind with the vivifying stream of life that moves in the present. To be clean is to have your inner state match the truth that you are complete now. This is not a future event but a shift in belief, a decision to remain in and of the I AM until the outer world mirrors the inner purity. The seven days become a discipline for keeping faith in your realized state, a rhythm that tunes perception to wholeness. The verse invites you to rest in the certainty that your true self is always clean in the I AM.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Close your eyes and declare I am clean now in the I AM, then visualize a stream of living water washing away the old self; hold that feeling for seven breaths.
