Inner Offerings, Inner Peace

Leviticus 17:5-6 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Leviticus 17 in context

Scripture Focus

5To the end that the children of Israel may bring their sacrifices, which they offer in the open field, even that they may bring them unto the LORD, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, unto the priest, and offer them for peace offerings unto the LORD.
6And the priest shall sprinkle the blood upon the altar of the LORD at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and burn the fat for a sweet savour unto the LORD.
Leviticus 17:5-6

Biblical Context

These verses describe bringing sacrifices to the LORD and the priest’s ritual of sprinkling blood and burning fat. Spiritually, they signify offering inner states and refining consciousness to please the I AM.

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville’s ear, the open field and the door of the tabernacle are inner thresholds. The LORD is the I AM that you are, and the sacrifices are not an animal rite but a decision of consciousness. When you bring the offerings to the door of your inner sanctuary, you are choosing what to value—gratitude, patience, faith, or vision—and you place them at the altar of awareness. The priest who sprinkles the blood represents the action of purification: you revise each limiting belief until the noise of fear no longer pollutes your atmosphere. Burning the fat for a sweet savour is the refining of feeling, the moment when your inner warmth is released as a pleasing aroma to the I AM. Peace offerings point to the result: a mind at rest, a sense of abundance, a harmony that does not depend on outer circumstances. The ritual reveals that the real temple is within, and that your imagination and faith are the priest and the blood and the scent that make the presence of God a felt truth in your life.

Practice This Now

Practice: In stillness, assume you already belong to the inner temple. Bring a personal offering—gratitude or a goal—to the door of your awareness, feel the cleansing of old beliefs as you imagine a drop of light on the altar, and breathe in the sweet savour of peace as your state becomes your reality.
