Neville Goddard on Leviticus 6:9-18 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Leviticus 6 in context

Scripture Focus

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.

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 6:9-18

Biblical Context

The passage describes keeping a fire on the altar, handling the ashes, and offering what is required, with a permanent standard of holiness for the people. It establishes a continuous, sacred order that makes contact with God through ritual.

Neville's Inner Vision

In your mind, the burnt offering is a symbol of your own life-fire kept upon the altar of awareness. The all-night burning is the stubborn attention you place on a single truth until it becomes your living center; the ashes gathered and carried beyond the camp symbolize the cleansing of old, untrue thoughts that no longer define you. The garments you put on and off mark shifts in state—humble, clean, renewed—while the continuous fire that shall not go out is your unceasing I AM presence, eternally sustaining the idea you choose to dwell in. The meat offering and its fragrant memorial are the meaning you burn into form, a deliberate offering of your attention to the LORD within. The rule that \"every one that toucheth them shall be holy\" becomes a statement about intimacy: touching your commitments to the divine by your choices makes you holy. Thus, the law is not external ritual but inner alignment, a permanent practice of consecrated living.

Practice This Now

Assume the state of consciousness as the altar where the fire of awareness never ceases. Revise one limiting thought into ashes and pour fresh fuel of faith into it, feeling the inner flame sustain your new sense of self.
