Neville Goddard on Leviticus 6:2-7 - 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.

6And he shall bring his trespass offering unto the LORD, a ram without blemish out of the flock, with thy estimation, for a trespass offering, unto the priest:

7And the priest shall make an atonement for him before the LORD: and it shall be forgiven him for any thing of all that he hath done in trespassing therein.

Leviticus 6:2-7

Biblical Context

These verses teach that sin is a breach against the divine order, requiring restitution—returning what was taken, adding a fifth, and offering it through the trespass offering—so that atonement passes from priest to person.

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, when I read Leviticus 6:2-7, I hear a whisper from the I AM: sin is not some external deed but a misalignment in my consciousness. The neighbor in the text is not a separate person but a facet of my own awareness that I have treated as other than the whole. To repair the breach, I do not threaten punishment; I revise the inner state. I restore the thing I put out of harmony, and I add the fifth part as an increase of consciousness—an extra measure of clarity, honesty, and love—until the memory embodies wholeness. The ram without blemish is the clean condition of my current awareness, offered to the priest within my mind who makes atonement. And in that act, the separation dissolves and forgiveness arises; the past trespass no longer defines me, for I have realigned with the LORD within—the I AM. The law then returns to favor because the state of consciousness has been refreshed.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly with a memory of a recent misstep; in your imagination declare that it is already restored, including the fifth part, and feel forgiveness flowing through your consciousness as the I AM reforms the scene.
