Neville Goddard on Leviticus 5:6-10 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Leviticus 5 in context

Scripture Focus

6And he shall bring his trespass offering unto the LORD for his sin which he hath sinned, a female from the flock, a lamb or a kid of the goats, for a sin offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for him concerning his sin.

7And if he be not able to bring a lamb, then he shall bring for his trespass, which he hath committed, two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, unto the LORD; one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering.

8And he shall bring them unto the priest, who shall offer that which is for the sin offering first, and wring off his head from his neck, but shall not divide it asunder:

9And he shall sprinkle of the blood of the sin offering upon the side of the altar; and the rest of the blood shall be wrung out at the bottom of the altar: it is a sin offering.

10And he shall offer the second for a burnt offering, according to the manner: and the priest shall make an atonement for him for his sin which he hath sinned, and it shall be forgiven him.

Leviticus 5:6-10

Biblical Context

The sinner brings an offering to make amends, and the priest makes atonement so forgiveness is granted. If one cannot bring a lamb, two birds serve as substitutes.

Neville's Inner Vision

Sin here is not an accusation carried on the outside world but a state of consciousness you enact inwardly. The trespass offering represents your readiness to return attention to the I AM, and the animal signifies the energy you redirect toward healing. The priest is your inner faculty—awareness applying the life-blood of consciousness to the altar of your mind—sprinkling forgiveness where guilt once stood. When you cannot bring a lamb, two birds symbolize the two aspects of your mind you enlist to restore balance: a sin-offering awareness and a burnt-offering devotion. The ritual, in Neville’s terms, is a mental act: you present the perceived sin to the I AM and allow the light of awareness to do the cleansing. As the blood is shed in consciousness, the old belief is released and forgiveness becomes your immediate experience. The atonement is thus an inner turning, not a ritual to perform; it is the moment you awaken to your true state of I AM, and all sense of separation dissolves into peace.
