Neville Goddard on Leviticus 22:18-25 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Leviticus 22 in context

Scripture Focus

18Speak unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto them, Whatsoever he be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers in Israel, that will offer his oblation for all his vows, and for all his freewill offerings, which they will offer unto the LORD for a burnt offering;

19Ye shall offer at your own will a male without blemish, of the beeves, of the sheep, or of the goats.

20But whatsoever hath a blemish, that shall ye not offer: for it shall not be acceptable for you.

21And whosoever offereth a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the LORD to accomplish his vow, or a freewill offering in beeves or sheep, it shall be perfect to be accepted; there shall be no blemish therein.

22Blind, or broken, or maimed, or having a wen, or scurvy, or scabbed, ye shall not offer these unto the LORD, nor make an offering by fire of them upon the altar unto the LORD.

23Either a bullock or a lamb that hath any thing superfluous or lacking in his parts, that mayest thou offer for a freewill offering; but for a vow it shall not be accepted.

24Ye shall not offer unto the LORD that which is bruised, or crushed, or broken, or cut; neither shall ye make any offering thereof in your land.

25Neither from a stranger's hand shall ye offer the bread of your God of any of these; because their corruption is in them, and blemishes be in them: they shall not be accepted for you.

Leviticus 22:18-25

Biblical Context

Leviticus 22:18-25 instructs offerings must be without blemish; only perfect sacrifices are acceptable, while blemished ones are refused.

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of the ritual as a doorway into your own consciousness. When the law speaks of blemish, it speaks of beliefs and habits dwelling in your mind that you deem deficient or imperfect. The house of Israel and the strangers are parts of you—past thoughts and introduced fears. The I AM is the only worthy altar; on that altar you place your vows and freewill decisions as pure as a bull or a sheep unblemished by guilt, fear, or self-doubt. To offer a sacrifice that is perfect is to align your state with wholeness, to refuse mental images that are broken, maimed, bruised. When you assume consciousness as unblemished, you are not performing a ritual but tuning your inner atmosphere so that nothing less than perfection is acceptable to you and to God within. The essence of true worship is obedience to the living I AM—your awareness—being faithful to your own inner standard and refusing to honor any consciousness that is blemished in spirit.

Practice This Now

Practice: Sit quietly, declare, 'I am unblemished in the eyes of the I AM,' and feel that wholeness settle into your body; let this inner standard revise any subtle belief of lack until it becomes your felt reality.
