Read Leviticus 9 in context

Scripture Focus

2And he said unto Aaron, Take thee a young calf for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering, without blemish, and offer them before the LORD.

Leviticus 9:2

Biblical Context

This verse instructs Aaron to bring a sin offering calf and a spotless burnt offering ram before the LORD, symbolizing purification and consecration.

Neville's Inner Vision

Leviticus 9:2 speaks to the inner drama of worship. Aaron is told to bring the two offerings—one for sin and one for burnt—yet in Neville's reading the rite mirrors the act of turning from mistaken identifications toward the I AM, the always-present awareness. The calf and the ram represent two tendencies in consciousness: the inclination to stumble into limitation (sin) and the higher impulse to consecrate all life to a pure purpose (burnt offering). By choosing 'without blemish,' the verse invites you to assume a state of clean, uninterrupted awareness, not by external ritual alone but by your inner revision and belief that you are already the God you seek. When you offer these symbols 'before the LORD,' you offer them to your own I AM—your present sense of being. The act is not about atoning from without but about shifting the center of gravity of mind to an undefiled state that can hold any experience as sacred.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the feeling of I AM as your constant focal point. Revise a current limitation by offering it as a blemish-free sacrifice before your inner LORD, and feel yourself dwell in a purer state.
