Neville Goddard on Leviticus 5:7-10 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Leviticus 5 in context

Scripture Focus

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 5:7-10

Biblical Context

If a lamb cannot be brought, two turtledoves or two pigeons serve as a substitution for sin and burnt offerings. The priest handles the first (sin) offering, sprinkles the blood, and the second becomes the burnt offering, bringing forgiveness through atonement.

Neville's Inner Vision

See this not as distant ritual but as the movement of your own consciousness. When you feel unable to bring a lamb, you offer two bird-like states—two imaginal acts—one for the sin you believe you have committed and one for the flame of your higher nature you wish to feed. The first offering is a cleansing act of attention, a decisive turning away from a limiting thought; wringing its head is your choice to end that thought’s dominion, and the blood sprinkled at the altar represents your living energy redirected to the present moment. The second offering is your burn offering: a commitment to a new state of being, a renewal through the I AM presence. The atonement comes as forgiveness arises from inhabiting a realized self that is untouched by error. Your mind, not external ritual, performs the restoration; and in this act of inner alignment you awaken to a renewed identity that is inherently free, right now.

Practice This Now

Practice: sit quietly, assume the I AM, and in imagination offer two birds as two acts of consciousness—one acknowledging and releasing the error, the other consecrating a renewed, forgiven self. Feel the warmth of forgiveness as you align with your true self.
