Aaron's Incense, Inner Plague Quelled

Numbers 16:47-48 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Numbers 16 in context

Scripture Focus

47And Aaron took as Moses commanded, and ran into the midst of the congregation; and, behold, the plague was begun among the people: and he put on incense, and made an atonement for the people.
48And he stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed.
Numbers 16:47-48

Biblical Context

In Numbers 16:47–48, Aaron moves into the assembly, offers incense for atonement, and, standing between the dead and the living, the plague is stayed.

Neville's Inner Vision

In this moment, the plague is not a pestilence of bodies but a state of consciousness, a fear that has filled the inner air. Aaron’s action is a vivid image of the I AM, the inner God, moving into the middle of two opposed states and declaring mercy. The incense represents the art of imagined sympathy—an inner prayer that converts judgment into compassion. When you accept that you are the I AM, you place yourself as the mediator between what is dying (old beliefs) and what is living (new alignments). The atonement is not external ritual but the revision of your feeling toward yourself and others: you forgive, you bless, you decree the vibration of health and unity. As with the scriptural scene, the “plague” yields when your attention returns to the divine presence within, and your awareness becomes more real than fear. Practice by assuming the state of I AM, and dwell there until the inner tension relaxes and restoration appears.

Practice This Now

Assume the I AM now; imagine yourself standing between two crowds—dead and living—and breathe incense of mercy until the feeling of division dissolves.
