Neville Goddard on Leviticus 25:47-51 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Leviticus 25 in context

Scripture Focus

47And if a sojourner or stranger wax rich by thee, and thy brother that dwelleth by him wax poor, and sell himself unto the stranger or sojourner by thee, or to the stock of the stranger's family:

48After that he is sold he may be redeemed again; one of his brethren may redeem him:

49Either his uncle, or his uncle's son, may redeem him, or any that is nigh of kin unto him of his family may redeem him; or if he be able, he may redeem himself.

50And he shall reckon with him that bought him from the year that he was sold to him unto the year of jubile: and the price of his sale shall be according unto the number of years, according to the time of an hired servant shall it be with him.

51If there be yet many years behind, according unto them he shall give again the price of his redemption out of the money that he was bought for.

Leviticus 25:47-51

Biblical Context

Leviticus 25:47-51 speaks of a person who sells himself to a stranger; a relative can redeem him, or he may redeem himself, with the price based on the years remaining until Jubilee. The law frames liberation as an ongoing act of kinship and mercy, not merely a transaction.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the quiet chambers of your soul, the sojourner represents a belief or condition you have temporarily allowed to own your life. The kinsman redeemer is the I AM, that spacious awareness which can appear as a breath of mercy, saying you are not bound by the scene you witness but by the awareness that creates it. The price of redemption, measured in years, is the rhythm of your attention; when you clothe a belief with many years of separation, the price seems high. Yet when you return to I AM and assume that freedom has already occurred, you erase the years and rewrite the scene into the present. The proper measure is mercy and kinship, not punishment; this inner law liberates you as surely as any statute. By imagining the moment of acknowledgment and feeling it as fact, you loosen the knots of time until bondage dissolves into liberation, and the Jubilee becomes your inner birthright rather than a distant decree.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: sit quietly, declare I am free now; feel the relief in the body and release of tension, and dwell in that state until it becomes your present.
