Presence Bread and Covenant
Leviticus 24:8-9 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Leviticus 24 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
A sacred bread is placed before the LORD each Sabbath, kept by an everlasting covenant. Aaron and his sons eat it in the holy place, for it is most holy.
Neville's Inner Vision
Think of Leviticus 24:8-9 as a chart of your inner altar. The Sabbath order is not a distant rite but a pattern your consciousness repeats to honor the I AM within. The bread of the Presence represents a steady supply of attention, a thought-form you feed with reverent awareness. When you imagine this loaf set before the LORD continually, you are rehearsing the assumption that your inner world is governed by a perpetual covenant—an unbreakable agreement between your feeling and the divine I AM that you truly are. The lines about Aaron and his sons point to the inner faculties—will, understanding, and action—sharing the holy meal as an act of alignment, not ritual separation. In your inner temple, holiness is not a place you visit but a state you inhabit; the most holy is your settled sense that you are always nourished by that covenant, always returning to the holy place of awareness. The outward act mirrors an inner discipline: keep your mind ordered in the presence you claim, and your life follows suit.
Practice This Now
Tonight, when you pause, assume that a loaf of inner bread stands before you and that you are nourished by the I AM. Feel it as a steady supply of attention; declare, 'I am always in covenant with the divine presence.'
