Neville Goddard on Leviticus 3:12-13 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Leviticus 3 in context

Scripture Focus

12And if his offering be a goat, then he shall offer it before the LORD.

13And he shall lay his hand upon the head of it, and kill it before the tabernacle of the congregation: and the sons of Aaron shall sprinkle the blood thereof upon the altar round about.

Leviticus 3:12-13

Biblical Context

The goats' offering is presented before the Lord; the worshiper lays hands on its head, then the animal is killed and its blood sprinkled around the altar at the tabernacle.

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through the I AM of your own consciousness, these verses reveal the moment you move from belief to deliberate creation. The goat embodies the ego-self you think you are; laying hands on its head is you seizing control of the old story and declaring, 'I am more than this.' The killing before the tabernacle signifies the end of identifying with that small self; the act is mental, not physical, a transfer of power from limitation to awareness. The sprinkling of blood upon the altar is the cleansing of your belief-field by the light of consciousness. Remember: you are the altar, you are the priests, and true worship is the conscious act of choosing what you accept as real. When you imagine the scene with the feeling that the I AM is the only reality, the barrier between you and God dissolves, and your desired state enters your life as fact.

Practice This Now

Practice: in a quiet moment, place your hand on your chest as you declare, 'I am that I am'—your own awareness. Then imagine blood-like light cleansing every belief that says 'I am not enough' and feel the new state as already real.
