Neville Goddard on Leviticus 5:6-7 - 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.

Leviticus 5:6-7

Biblical Context

The passage prescribes bringing a trespass offering for sin, with a lamb if possible, or two birds if not, and the priest then makes atonement for the sinner.

Neville's Inner Vision

I observe Leviticus 5:6-7 as a map of inner turning. The trespass is a misalignment in my state of consciousness—the I AM that I am, the inner governor that stands as God within. The offered lamb or two birds symbolize the investment of attention required to restore harmony in the psyche. When I cannot command a lamb, I can offer two turtledoves or two pigeons—simple images that stand for my willingness to revise and realign. The priest who atones is my own higher awareness, the aspect that speaks forgiveness and re-frames the event as already settled in the mind. Atonement, then, is not appeasing a distant deity but returning to the truth of unity with the I AM. The movement is inward: a thought that seemed separate is returned to oneness by a deliberate act of imagination. The trespass becomes a signal that my consciousness has wandered; the offering becomes a decision to dwell again in the presence I truly am. Thus the inner practice turns law into liberation, and memory into a fresh birth of awareness.

Practice This Now

Choose a recent small fault and imagine presenting it to your inner priest as a lamb or two birds. Declare I am forgiven and feel the shift of consciousness as the repair is already complete.
