Neville Goddard on Leviticus 8:6-9 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Leviticus 8 in context

Scripture Focus

6And Moses brought Aaron and his sons, and washed them with water.

7And he put upon him the coat, and girded him with the girdle, and clothed him with the robe, and put the ephod upon him, and he girded him with the curious girdle of the ephod, and bound it unto him therewith.

8And he put the breastplate upon him: also he put in the breastplate the Urim and the Thummim.

9And he put the mitre upon his head; also upon the mitre, even upon his forefront, did he put the golden plate, the holy crown; as the LORD commanded Moses.

Leviticus 8:6-9

Biblical Context

Moses washes Aaron and his sons and clothes them in a sequence of sacred garments. The act signals that purification must precede holy service, and outward dress reflects inner order and consecration.

Neville's Inner Vision

Before any work of the altar, the mind is washed. The water is awareness flowing through your thoughts, cleansing fear, doubt, and habit so that the I AM you are becomes clear. The coat, girdle, robe, ephod, and the belt are not costumes but states of consciousness you consciously choose to wear. Each piece marks a shift: humility in the washing, discipline in the girdle, royal order in the robe, spiritual connection in the ephod, and binding to divine law in the belt. The breastplate holding Urim and Thummim represents your inner light—the truth and perfection that illuminate decisions. The mitre and the golden plate crown reflect crowned consciousness, a mind aligned with divine authority. This is not an historical rite but a symbolic sequence you enact in imagination to show your inner constitution. When you affirm, 'I am the I AM,' you clothe yourself in holiness; you do not seek holiness from without, you become its vessel by assuming and feeling it now.

Practice This Now

Practice now: in imagination, wash in your own awareness, then cloth yourself in the sequence—coat, girdle, robe, ephod, breastplate, and crown; finish by feeling the I AM guiding every act.
