Numbers 12:9-10

Biblical Context

God's anger is kindled against the people; He withdraws, the cloud moves away from the tabernacle, and Miriam becomes leprous while Aaron observes.

Neville's Inner Vision

Numbers 12:9-10 is a parable of states rather than a mere historical incident. The “anger of the LORD” is a momentary conviction of separation—an inner decree that the I AM withdraws when a mind adheres to judgment or blame. The departing cloud signifies your awareness stepping back from the very source of life and order within. Miriam’s leprous condition is the outward sign of an inward disconnection: when you insist that you are apart from the divine presence, your vitality appears pale and separated. The chapter invites you to notice that such departures arise from your own thoughts, and that restoration comes not by changing others but by changing the state you assume about yourself. The path of healing is to return to the I AM here and now, to suspend judgment and re-enter wholeness. The moment you revise the inner story and believe the Presence remains, the signs shift and healing follows as a natural expression of restored unity.

Practice This Now

Assume, now, 'The I AM is here; the cloud rests upon my tabernacle.' Close your eyes, feel the reality of divine presence, and imagine the leprous sign dissolving as you dwell in wholeness.
