Carrying The Inner Tabernacle
Numbers 10:17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Numbers 10 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The tabernacle is dismantled and carried forward by the Gershon and Merari, marking a deliberate movement of the sanctuary. In plain sense, it points to the steady worship that travels with you.
Neville's Inner Vision
Picture the scene as a mirror of your inner life. The tabernacle is the dwelling place of God within your mind—the I AM—awareness that does not perish. When the tabernacle is taken down and carried forward by Gershon and Merari, notice that your center is in motion, not fixed. The carriers are not distant priests; they are the faculties within you—imagination and steadfast service—moving with intention, bearing the sanctuary through your days. To carry the tabernacle is to keep your inner worship alive while you walk through work and world. Your vocation becomes the daily act of tending this sanctuary, not a separate duty but the outward proof of an inward state. In Neville's practice, assume you are already bearing the sanctuary; revise fear and lack as, 'The I AM carries me forward.' When you feel agitation, breathe into the sense, 'I am the tabernacle; my awareness houses the presence.' As you live, the outer world reorients to your inner shrine, and true worship becomes your constant experience rather than a distant ideal.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Sit quietly, declare, 'I am the tabernacle.' Feel your awareness bearing the sanctuary as you move through the day, and renew the assumption whenever distraction arises.
