Inner Standards of Worthiness

Leviticus 21:16-21 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Leviticus 21 in context

Scripture Focus

16And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
17Speak unto Aaron, saying, Whosoever he be of thy seed in their generations that hath any blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of his God.
18For whatsoever man he be that hath a blemish, he shall not approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that hath a flat nose, or any thing superfluous,
19Or a man that is brokenfooted, or brokenhanded,
20Or crookbackt, or a dwarf, or that hath a blemish in his eye, or be scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his stones broken;
21No man that hath a blemish of the seed of Aaron the priest shall come nigh to offer the offerings of the LORD made by fire: he hath a blemish; he shall not come nigh to offer the bread of his God.
Leviticus 21:16-21

Biblical Context

The passage notes that those with a blemish may not approach to offer the bread of the LORD, signaling a boundary of holiness and service. It grounds purity and separation as conditions for sacred worship.

Neville's Inner Vision

Whom the text calls 'blemished' is not a defect of flesh, but a belief about yourself that you are unworthy, incomplete, or unfit to give God what you truly are. The bread of God is your daily supply, your true worship—access through the I AM that you are. When you cling to the sensation of flaw, you keep the offering at a distance from your own consciousness. The law thus invites you to revise the inner condition, not to change physical bodies. Assume a state of wholeness now: I AM presence, the unblemished you, the priest within who may approach the bread with clean hands. Feel that you stand in the presence of divine offerings, already eligible, already complete. Let emotions that deny your worth melt in the fire of awareness; let fear, doubt, or self-criticism burn away as you repeat the assumption. Practice persists until the inner sense aligns with the external result. The verse becomes a map of inner worship: purity and integrity of consciousness precede any outward act, and true worship is simply living as the I AM.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, declare 'I AM unblemished,' revise your self-image to wholeness, and feel yourself approaching the altar with clean hands, tasting the bread of God within.
