Neville Goddard on Leviticus 16:4-5 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Leviticus 16 in context

Scripture Focus

4He shall put on the holy linen coat, and he shall have the linen breeches upon his flesh, and shall be girded with a linen girdle, and with the linen mitre shall he be attired: these are holy garments; therefore shall he wash his flesh in water, and so put them on.

5And he shall take of the congregation of the children of Israel two kids of the goats for a sin offering, and one ram for a burnt offering.

Leviticus 16:4-5

Biblical Context

The priest must wear holy linen garments and wash. Then he offers two goats for sin and a ram for burnt offering.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you, the linen garments are not cloth but states of consciousness you choose to wear. As you close your eyes and imagine the holy linen coat, the linen breeches, the girdle, and the mitre, you are feeling and affirming holiness—an I AM presence you can inhabit now. You wash your flesh in water, meaning you cleanse the mind of fear, doubt, and memory, and you step into the day wearing a clear aura. Then you take two goats for sin and one ram for a burnt offering—inner acts you accept and surrender. The two goats symbolize the two prevailing thoughts or habits you allow to be carried away by your loving attention; the sin you offer is a misperception you release. The ram is the consecration, the complete dedication of your life to the higher-state you now affirm. This is not ritual apart from you; it is your psyche aligning with its divine pattern. When you embody this inner rite, you awaken to the I AM and see your world as the outward expression of that holiness.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the linen garments of holiness, feeling the I AM saturate your presence. Then imagine washing your mind clean and offering the two goats for sin and the ram for burnt offering, releasing old habits and consecrating yourself to the higher self—feel it real.
