Neville Goddard on Leviticus 3:6-11 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Leviticus 3 in context

Scripture Focus

6And if his offering for a sacrifice of peace offering unto the LORD be of the flock; male or female, he shall offer it without blemish.

7If he offer a lamb for his offering, then shall he offer it before the LORD.

8And he shall lay his hand upon the head of his offering, and kill it before the tabernacle of the congregation: and Aaron's sons shall sprinkle the blood thereof round about upon the altar.

9And he shall offer of the sacrifice of the peace offering an offering made by fire unto the LORD; the fat thereof, and the whole rump, it shall he take off hard by the backbone; and the fat that covereth the inwards, and all the fat that is upon the inwards,

10And the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, which is by the flanks, and the caul above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take away.

11And the priest shall burn it upon the altar: it is the food of the offering made by fire unto the LORD.

Leviticus 3:6-11

Biblical Context

The passage describes offering a spotless lamb from the flock as a peace offering to the LORD, laying hands on it, slaughtering at the tabernacle, and burning the fatty parts on the altar as food for the LORD.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the Neville lens, the outer rite becomes a map of inner conversion. The peace offering is a state of consciousness you choose and honor in imagination. The animal without blemish signifies a clean, ready mind; male or female notes that every aspect of self can be aligned. By laying the hand on the head of the offering you identify with the desired state, and the act of killing it before the tabernacle marks the withdrawal of old habits from the foreground of attention. The sprinkling of blood around the altar depicts the cleansing fluid of awareness purifying the mental space where results are formed. Removing the fat, kidneys, and other parts indicates relinquishing excess attachment and fear that would clog receptivity. The priest burning the sacrifice on the altar is consciousness itself consuming the old impression, turning your intention into fuel for manifestation. The result is that the offering becomes the food of the LORD—your life nourished by the new state. When you dwell in this imagined reality, the borders between you and the desired peace dissolve, and sovereignty returns to your I AM within.

Practice This Now

Practice: sit quietly, imagine presenting your blemish-free state to the I AM, lay your inner hand on the head of that state, and declare, "This is mine now." Then feel the relief and let that feeling color your day.
