Neville Goddard on Numbers 11:7-9 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Numbers 11 in context

Scripture Focus

7And the manna was as coriander seed, and the colour thereof as the colour of bdellium.

8And the people went about, and gathered it, and ground it in mills, or beat it in a mortar, and baked it in pans, and made cakes of it: and the taste of it was as the taste of fresh oil.

9And when the dew fell upon the camp in the night, the manna fell upon it.

Numbers 11:7-9

Biblical Context

Manna arrives daily as nourishment; the people gather, grind, bake it, and its taste is like fresh oil, while the dew of night marks the continued divine provisioning.

Neville's Inner Vision

In this scene, the manna is not merely food but the living evidence that the One I AM feeds the consciousness that names itself 'I'. The coriander seed and bdellium color point to subtler substance—hidden supply stored in the inner treasury of your mind. When the people gather and grind or beat it, they are symbolizing our handling of inner impressions, converting them through imagination and disciplined feeling into nourishment for life. Baking it into cakes is the formation of created conditions from thought, and the taste of fresh oil is the anointing of consciousness—beautiful, vivid, and real to the inner ear. The night dew descending upon the camp represents the unseen grace that rests on your awareness while you sleep, ensuring that your inner field remains saturated with the energy of supply. If you dare to believe that this dew is falling upon your own camp, you will awaken to a life that tastes of oil and is continually renewed by inner provision and guidance, without striving.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: In your next quiet moment, assume the manna is already yours—feel it as the taste of oil on your tongue and sense the dew settling on your camp. Then revise any lack into abundance by declaring, 'I am fed by the I AM; grace guides my every step.'
