Neville Goddard on Leviticus 6:12-18 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Leviticus 6 in context

Scripture Focus

12And the fire upon the altar shall be burning in it; it shall not be put out: and the priest shall burn wood on it every morning, and lay the burnt offering in order upon it; and he shall burn thereon the fat of the peace offerings.

13The fire shall ever be burning upon the altar; it shall never go out.

14And this is the law of the meat offering: the sons of Aaron shall offer it before the LORD, before the altar.

15And he shall take of it his handful, of the flour of the meat offering, and of the oil thereof, and all the frankincense which is upon the meat offering, and shall burn it upon the altar for a sweet savour, even the memorial of it, unto the LORD.

16And the remainder thereof shall Aaron and his sons eat: with unleavened bread shall it be eaten in the holy place; in the court of the tabernacle of the congregation they shall eat it.

17It shall not be baken with leaven. I have given it unto them for their portion of my offerings made by fire; it is most holy, as is the sin offering, and as the trespass offering.

18All the males among the children of Aaron shall eat of it. It shall be a statute for ever in your generations concerning the offerings of the LORD made by fire: every one that toucheth them shall be holy.

Leviticus 6:12-18

Biblical Context

The verses describe a fire that must never go out, offerings laid before the Lord, and portions eaten in holiness by Aaron’s lineage. In plain terms, holiness rests in the act of giving and remaining mindful in the presence of God.

Neville's Inner Vision

The fire on the altar is your persistent I AM, the constant awareness that cannot be extinguished. The wood you lay and the burnt offering represent your daily act of assuming a state of being; the fragrant sacrifice is the feeling of peace and gratitude you cultivate as you imagine the good you seek. The portions eaten by Aaron and his sons symbolize the inner nourishment shared among your higher faculties when you maintain a state of worship within. The declaration that the offering is holy points to the sanctity of your inner acts, and the line that all who touch them shall be holy invites you to transform by contact with your own inner altar. The timeless message is simple: keep the flame alive in consciousness, offer with steadfast intention, and you will encounter the presence of God within you.

Practice This Now

Assume the I AM as the ever-burning altar within; revise a current limitation by feeling it already resolved, and imagine your life offered as sweet savour before the inner table.
