Inner Cleanse for Pure Living

Leviticus 17:15-16 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Leviticus 17 in context

Scripture Focus

15And every soul that eateth that which died of itself, or that which was torn with beasts, whether it be one of your own country, or a stranger, he shall both wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even: then shall he be clean.
16But if he wash them not, nor bathe his flesh; then he shall bear his iniquity.
Leviticus 17:15-16

Biblical Context

The verses describe a cleansing ritual: anyone who eats something dead or torn must wash and bathe and be unclean until evening; if they fail, they bear their iniquity.

Neville's Inner Vision

Leviticus speaks to you in the present, for every outward rule mirrors an inner law. Eating what is dead or torn is a stand-in for taking into the mind an image that is not whole; you have already consumed a belief that lacks completeness. The washing of clothes and immersion in water symbolize a mental cleansing: you rinse the thought, bathe the self in truth, and return to a state of inner health, unclean no longer because your awareness has shifted. The evening is the moment the old image loses its grip; to skip the wash is to permit the old tendency to govern your life, to bear the iniquity of dwelling in a state you no longer choose. The practical path is to assume the desired state as if it already exists, revise any troubling scene, and feel it real in the I AM now. Let your inner I AM act as water and soap, cleansing the mind until you stand free in the truth you intend.

Practice This Now

Practice: when you sense a lingering old image, pause and imagine washing your clothes and bathing in clear water of truth. Then affirm, I AM clean, and linger in the feeling of that present reality.
