Neville Goddard on Leviticus 4:8-9 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Leviticus 4 in context

Scripture Focus

8And he shall take off from it all the fat of the bullock for the sin offering; the fat that covereth the inwards, and all the fat that is upon the inwards,

9And 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,

Leviticus 4:8-9

Biblical Context

Leviticus 4:8-9 directs the priest to remove the fat and certain inward parts from the bullock as part of the sin offering. This act of trimming symbolizes cleansing the inner life before holiness is restored.

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through the I AM, the animal and its fat are not outside rituals but symbols of states of consciousness. The fat that covers the inwards and the kidneys are the stubborn deposits of fear, self-importance, and hidden motives that cling to our inner life. When the priest-like awareness trims away these fats, it is not to destroy the self but to reveal a clearer vessel for pure consciousness to inhabit. The two kidneys and the caul above the liver stand for the twofold motive and the protective coverings we carry; removing them is the decision to let the consciousness separate what serves the whole from what merely clads it. In this light, the rite becomes a memory aid: you can deliberately refine your inner offering by depersonalizing judgment and letting perception stand free of weight. The "sin offering" becomes a practice: identify a limiting belief, imagine stripping it away, and notice that your awareness remains intact, ready to operate from harmony rather than deficiency.
