Scripture Focus

10And the son of an Israelitish woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel: and this son of the Israelitish woman and a man of Israel strove together in the camp;

11And the Israelitish woman's son blasphemed the name of the Lord, and cursed. And they brought him unto Moses: (and his mother's name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan:)

12And they put him in ward, that the mind of the LORD might be shewed them.

Leviticus 24:10-12

Biblical Context

Leviticus 24:10-12 tells of a man, the son of an Israelite woman and an Egyptian father, who quarrels in the camp and blasphemes the name of the Lord. He is set apart in ward to reveal the mind of the Lord.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the stillness of my own awareness, Leviticus 24:10-12 becomes a mirror for inner states. The mixed heritage figure symbolizes the clash within consciousness between who I think I am and the higher I AM becoming. The quarrel in the camp is the battleground of thoughts; the blasphemy spoken is the harsh inner speech I sometimes cast upon the divine within me. When the people bring him to Moses and keep him in ward, “that the mind of the LORD might be shown them,” I hear the inward decree: the inner governor reveals what presently governs my consciousness. The “mind of the LORD” is not a distant judgment but the living I AM, made evident by attention and belief. By holding the scene in ward, I am invited to observe my inner state until holiness is established, until I no longer curse the sacred within, but acknowledge it as the law of my own awareness. The outer scene becomes a sign of my inner alignment, a call to refine my thoughts until purity prevails in the mind I call mine.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: In this moment, assume the consciousness you call ‘I’ is the Lord of your camp. Revise any harsh inner speech by declaring, 'I am the Lord; this thought is mine to command,' and feel the authority expanding your awareness.
