Ignorance Cleared by Imagination

Numbers 15:22-24 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Numbers 15 in context

Scripture Focus

22And if ye have erred, and not observed all these commandments, which the LORD hath spoken unto Moses,
23Even all that the LORD hath commanded you by the hand of Moses, from the day that the LORD commanded Moses, and henceforward among your generations;
24Then it shall be, if ought be committed by ignorance without the knowledge of the congregation, that all the congregation shall offer one young bullock for a burnt offering, for a sweet savour unto the LORD, with his meat offering, and his drink offering, according to the manner, and one kid of the goats for a sin offering.
Numbers 15:22-24

Biblical Context

Plainly, when the community errs by ignorance and fails to observe all the commandments, a prescribed offering is made to restore harmony with the divine law. The passage highlights mercy and collective atonement as a path back to right relationship.

Neville's Inner Vision

I speak to you as the I AM behind all voices: when you misstep in consciousness—when you forget the commanded state—the inner law calls for a return to wholeness through image and feeling. The congregation in the verse is the chorus of your own beliefs, the collective habit of mind that tallies your past error. The bullock for a burnt offering and the kid of the goats for sin are symbolic forms by which your imagination re-scripts error into devotion. Not punishment, but alignment: the law says that through a deliberate act of revision, your inner economy must sacrifice the old self who believes separation and re-birth the new self who knows unity. The day the command is given marks the moment you reset; henceforward among your generations means this is a perpetually available rhythm within you. When ignorance arises, imagine the offering already complete in your I AM, feel the sweet savour—peace, right relation, right action—as though it were fulfilled now. The outer ritual fades; the inner conviction remains.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: In a quiet moment, assume you are already fully observing the commandment; revise the sense of ignorance by stating, 'I AM aware and complete,' and feel the harmony as real in your present.
