Neville Goddard on Leviticus 6:2-5 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Leviticus 6 in context

Scripture Focus

2If a soul sin, and commit a trespass against the LORD, and lie unto his neighbour in that which was delivered him to keep, or in fellowship, or in a thing taken away by violence, or hath deceived his neighbour;

3Or have found that which was lost, and lieth concerning it, and sweareth falsely; in any of all these that a man doeth, sinning therein:

4Then it shall be, because he hath sinned, and is guilty, that he shall restore that which he took violently away, or the thing which he hath deceitfully gotten, or that which was delivered him to keep, or the lost thing which he found,

5Or all that about which he hath sworn falsely; he shall even restore it in the principal, and shall add the fifth part more thereto, and give it unto him to whom it appertaineth, in the day of his trespass offering.

Leviticus 6:2-5

Biblical Context

Leviticus 6:2-5 states that when one sins by lying, stealing, or deceiving a neighbor, they must restore the item or value plus the fifth part, and present it on the day of their trespass offering.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the Neville Goddard reading, the neighbor is a facet of your own consciousness and the LORD is the I AM you truly are. Sin arises when you imagine separation from this unity and act as if you are not one with all. The instruction to restore and add a fifth serves as an inner discipline: you restore the unity you forgot, and you deepen it by a renewed commitment—an inner 20% more fidelity to truth. The trespass offering becomes the moment you stop identifying with the offense and reaffirm that you are complete in divine consciousness. The outer act of restitution mirrors an inner correction: you re-balance your mental ledger until the whole of you is back in harmony with the One. Thus the law points to a practical inner movement: correct belief, restore right relation in imagination, and feel the unity of I AM returning as your lived reality.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and mentally return the value or harmony you took, then add 20% as a pledge to truth, finally rest in the felt sense that you are one with I AM.
