Read Numbers 11 in context

Scripture Focus

20But even a whole month, until it come out at your nostrils, and it be loathsome unto you: because that ye have despised the LORD which is among you, and have wept before him, saying, Why came we forth out of Egypt?

Numbers 11:20

Biblical Context

Numbers 11:20 portrays a people who will eat meat for a whole month until it becomes loathsome because they despise the LORD among them and lament leaving Egypt.

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through the I AM, this verse becomes a map of inner weather. To despise the LORD among you is to deny that God is within your own awareness, not distant in history. The month of meat is a symbol of a stubborn pattern of thought—grievance, longing for the past, and the belief that nourishment comes from outside rather than from the Presence you already are. When you utter the lament why did we come forth out of Egypt, you are narrating a separated self, a state that acts as if life is an outside event. Neville teaches that the remedy is an inner revision: rest your sense of self in the I AM and affirm that the Presence is here, now, supplying all things. In that shift the loathsome diet dissolves into a new season of gratitude and peace, because you no longer feed on lack but on the felt reality of God within. Live from the end you seek: assume the state of fullness, feel it real, and let your outward experience echo the inner revelation.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly, close your eyes, and assume I AM within me now as the constant Source of nourishment. Revise the inner question about the journey into a present-tense assertion of supply, and feel the Presence as real.
