Neville Goddard on Leviticus 6:6-13 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Leviticus 6 in context

Scripture Focus

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.

8And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

9Command Aaron and his sons, saying, This is the law of the burnt offering: It is the burnt offering, because of the burning upon the altar all night unto the morning, and the fire of the altar shall be burning in it.

10And the priest shall put on his linen garment, and his linen breeches shall he put upon his flesh, and take up the ashes which the fire hath consumed with the burnt offering on the altar, and he shall put them beside the altar.

11And he shall put off his garments, and put on other garments, and carry forth the ashes without the camp unto a clean place.

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.

Leviticus 6:6-13

Biblical Context

Leviticus 6:6-13 presents a trespass offering and a burning offering, worked through by the priestly rite to bring forgiveness and ongoing worship. The fire on the altar is kept alight, and ashes are removed, symbolizing cleansing and continuous devotion.

Neville's Inner Vision

Let the scene be taken inward. The trespass offering points to a fault you have recognized in your thoughts; bringing it to the LORD is the turning of your attention toward the I AM that you are. The ram without blemish represents your true, unaltered nature when seen through the standard of consciousness you actually hold; you are pure awareness. The priest's act of atonement mirrors your ability to revise the scene in your own mind, declaring forgiveness as a finish, not a future event. The burnt offering that burns all night and into the morning is the steadfast flame of attention, the altar in your mind kept alive by your ongoing assumption. The ashes set aside are the old images dissolved, the space made ready for a new worship. When you live as the I AM, imagination becomes real: you do not seek forgiveness, you inhabit the state of forgiveness already. And the fire that never goes out becomes your daily proof of a consciousness that remains awake, entire, and free.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly, picture your inner temple; place the ram of your spotless self on the altar, and declare I AM forgiven; then feel the steady fire of awareness burn and revise any sense of guilt until it feels true.
