Neville Goddard on Leviticus 9:2-4 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

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.

3And unto the children of Israel thou shalt speak, saying, Take ye a kid of the goats for a sin offering; and a calf and a lamb, both of the first year, without blemish, for a burnt offering;

4Also a bullock and a ram for peace offerings, to sacrifice before the LORD; and a meat offering mingled with oil: for to day the LORD will appear unto you.

Leviticus 9:2-4

Biblical Context

The passage lists offerings Aaron and Israel must bring—sin, burnt, and peace offerings—and ends with the LORD appearing among them.

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider this scene as a map of inner life. The calf, ram, goat, bullock and lamb are not external animals but states of consciousness you present before the I AM. The sin offerings call you to release guilt and limitation, offering them on the altar of your awareness. The burnt offerings signify a total consecration—an unblemished dedication of your whole being to the Divine Presence, not to a distant rite. The peace offerings invite harmony, the aligning of desires with the divine order, so that your inner temple becomes a place where the LORD appears. When the text says today the LORD will appear unto you, hear it as a moment when your consciousness, rightly arranged, opens to its own Image—God within. The room, the people, the offerings are all instructional signs pointing inward: the altar is your imagination; the priest is your higher self; the appearance is the awakening of the I AM within. If you can imagine yourself as both offerer and offering, the appearing comes not by distance but by your decision to dwell in that awareness.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: In a few minutes, close your eyes and assume the roles of the offerings—release, dedication, and harmony. Then, affirm, I am the LORD appearing in me now, and dwell in that consciousness until it feels real.
