Read Leviticus 22 in context

Scripture Focus

31Therefore shall ye keep my commandments, and do them: I am the LORD.

32Neither shall ye profane my holy name; but I will be hallowed among the children of Israel: I am the LORD which hallow you,

33That brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the LORD.

Leviticus 22:31-33

Biblical Context

The passage urges obedience to God's commandments and reverence for the holy name, affirming that the LORD who led Israel out of Egypt is the sustaining God.

Neville's Inner Vision

Leviticus 22:31-33 presents an inner order: obey the commandments, guard the name, and remember the LORD who brings you into existence as your God. In Neville's terms, the commands are not external doings but inner states of consciousness to be kept. The I AM—the LORD within—speaks as the perpetual, unchanging reality that halloweth you and sets the pattern of your life. When you reverence the holy name, you refuse to profane the sense of self that is pure awareness. To 'bring you out of Egypt' means you release the old bondage of limitation and live from the freedom of the divine I AM. Your identity is not a separate material self but the very act of being guided by a law that sanctifies you. As you align with this inner law, your external life becomes the natural expression of obedience and loyalty to your true God. The verse is a reminder that your consistency in thought and feeling toward the I AM seeds the world you experience.

Practice This Now

For 5 minutes, assume the state 'I am the LORD' in present tense, feel yourself kept by divine order, and declare 'I keep the commandments in thought and action.' Then picture stepping from a dim, Egypt-like place into a bright, free land, as the I AM sanctifies you in every moment.
