Neville Goddard on Numbers 13:21-22 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Numbers 13 in context

Scripture Focus

21So they went up, and searched the land from the wilderness of Zin unto Rehob, as men come to Hamath.

22And they ascended by the south, and came unto Hebron; where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)

Numbers 13:21-22

Biblical Context

The spies move from the wilderness toward Hebron, surveying the land and encountering the Anakim giants. The passage frames an outer journey that mirrors an inner movement toward a settled state protected by faith.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Numbers 13:21-22 the outer route becomes an inner movement of consciousness. The wilderness of Zin is my old, unsatisfied state; Rehob and Hamath mark far reaches of my imagination, and to ascend by the south is to incline my mind toward a new possibility. Hebron is not a city on a map but the place within where my I AM rests in faith. The Anakim, the giants, are not others but fears formed by my past attention—limiting beliefs I have fed with concern. Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai are the voices of doubt, insecurity, and pride that arise when I consider a new state. As I travel in consciousness, I am called to discern the present belief from the truth I desire. The purpose of the journey is witness: a change of belief within makes the outer world conform, and I discover that I am already dwelling in my promised land.

Practice This Now

Assume the feeling of Hebron now, as if I already dwell there. Revise every anxious memory until the inner sense of safety and abundance is real to me.
