Inner Priesthood of Leviticus

Leviticus 21:18-21 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Leviticus 21 in context

Scripture Focus

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 21:18-21

Biblical Context

Leviticus 21:18–21 forbids anyone with a physical blemish from approaching the offerings, signaling that holiness requires inner purity. The text uses bodily defects as symbols for inner disqualifications from true worship.

Neville's Inner Vision

Read through Neville's transformation lens, the law speaks not of physical flaw but of inner states. A blemish is a belief, habit, or fear that clouds the I AM presence within you. The 'priest' who cannot come near is your present sense of self pressed by limitation, separation, or doubt. The imagery—blindness, lameness, crooked sight—are pictures your imagination uses to reveal where inner alignment lacks clarity. The seed of Aaron stands for your higher self, the sacred aspect that can offer the bread of God only when the mind is free of reaction and self-doubt. The ritual becomes your practice of consciousness: identify the block, revise the story about yourself, and feel the fire in you as proof that you are already present as the unblemished I AM. When you assume the state of that inner priest, the offering is not something you do but something you radiate. Thus the Levitical law points to an inward discipline: through disciplined imagination you cleanse the inner temple and return to worship as a whole, assured being.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: In a quiet moment, declare that you are the unblemished priest inside. Revise the belief of limitation until it feels true, then imagine offering the bread of God on the altar of your own heart.
