Neville Goddard on Leviticus 5:15-16 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Leviticus 5 in context

Scripture Focus

15If a soul commit a trespass, and sin through ignorance, in the holy things of the LORD; then he shall bring for his trespass unto the LORD a ram without blemish out of the flocks, with thy estimation by shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for a trespass offering:

16And he shall make amends for the harm that he hath done in the holy thing, and shall add the fifth part thereto, and give it unto the priest: and the priest shall make an atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering, and it shall be forgiven him.

Leviticus 5:15-16

Biblical Context

If someone sins ignorantly regarding sacred things, they must offer a blemish-free ram and pay the valuation of silver, plus a fifth part, so the priest can make atonement and forgiveness follows.

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, the Levitical rite is a map of your inner life. A trespass in the holy things of the LORD is a misalignment in your state of I AM—ignorance moving your consciousness away from Its true center. The ram without blemish symbolizes the pure Idea of you that remains untainted by fear; the silver valuation is the mental charge you place on the error. By adding the fifth part you acknowledge the debt to the divine economy and restore balance to your inner sanctuary. The priest who makes atonement is the higher-self within you, the act of revision that declares forgiveness once the belief is corrected. And when you truly revise, the offense is forgiven, not by external ritual but by a new state of consciousness. If you continually assume the forgiven state, you will see the outward world reflect that inner harmony.

Practice This Now

In a moment of quiet, imagine you have committed a sacred trespass; now assume the state, visualize presenting a spotless ram and paying the measure in your mind; feel the relief of forgiveness and rest within the holy I AM.
