Neville Goddard on Numbers 15:15-16 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Numbers 15 in context

Scripture Focus

15One ordinance shall be both for you of the congregation, and also for the stranger that sojourneth with you, an ordinance for ever in your generations: as ye are, so shall the stranger be before the LORD.

16One law and one manner shall be for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth with you.

Numbers 15:15-16

Biblical Context

Numbers 15:15-16 states that a single ordinance and one law apply to both the congregation and the stranger, who stands before the LORD in the same covenant. It points to inner unity: all aspects of life share the same divine structure when viewed with the right consciousness.

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice that Numbers speaks of one ordinance for you and the stranger, a single law to govern all who sojourn with you. In the inner realm, the stranger is not another person apart from your own consciousness, but a fragment of you waiting to be greeted by the same awareness you claim for yourself. The LORD is your I AM; when you acknowledge that the same standard applies to every state of being in your mind, you dissolve the illusion of separation. The verse invites you to live from unity—one covenant, one discipline, one path—so that your outer world reflects your inward sense of wholeness. When you imagine that all are included in the same statute, you revise fear into love and certainty; you revise lack into abundance. Your practice is to assume that the neighbor within and the neighbor without are one field of consciousness, governed by the same truth, now.

Practice This Now

Assume the assumption: I and the stranger are one before the LORD. Feel it-real by imagining the same 'one ordinance' reigning in every choice you make toward all.
