Neville Goddard on Leviticus 24:13-16 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Leviticus 24 in context

Scripture Focus

13And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

14Bring forth him that hath cursed without the camp; and let all that heard him lay their hands upon his head, and let all the congregation stone him.

15And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Whosoever curseth his God shall bear his sin.

16And he that blasphemeth the name of the LORD, he shall surely be put to death, and all the congregation shall certainly stone him: as well the stranger, as he that is born in the land, when he blasphemeth the name of the Lord, shall be put to death.

Leviticus 24:13-16

Biblical Context

The verse commands that a man who curses God be brought outside the camp and stoned, and that anyone who blasphemes the LORD’s name bears his sin. It ties blasphemy to serious communal judgment.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this harsh scene I hear the whisper of my inner law. The 'camp' represents my state of consciousness, and the voice that curses is the ego denying the I AM living as me. When the people lay hands on his head, they are quietly transferring belief, exposing how a chorus of thoughts can pin a fearful image to my sense of self. The stone is but the visible consequence of a mind clinging to separation. To blaspheme the name of the LORD is to deny the living presence of the I AM within me; yet this text does not condemn the speaker, it reveals the mechanism by which belief returns as lack or pain. The remedy is not punishment but a turn of attention: affirm that the I AM is the only power, that the divine name is the action of love in me. As I accept this, the image collapses into peace, and I am returned to the wholeness I already am.

Practice This Now

Assume the I AM as your present reality now. Silently declare I AM THAT I AM, place the attention on your head as if laying hands on old belief, and feel the I AM renewing your wholeness.
