Neville Goddard on Numbers 18:29-32 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Numbers 18 in context

Scripture Focus

29Out of all your gifts ye shall offer every heave offering of the LORD, of all the best thereof, even the hallowed part thereof out of it.

30Therefore thou shalt say unto them, When ye have heaved the best thereof from it, then it shall be counted unto the Levites as the increase of the threshingfloor, and as the increase of the winepress.

31And ye shall eat it in every place, ye and your households: for it is your reward for your service in the tabernacle of the congregation.

32And ye shall bear no sin by reason of it, when ye have heaved from it the best of it: neither shall ye pollute the holy things of the children of Israel, lest ye die.

Numbers 18:29-32

Biblical Context

The verses instruct offering the best of your gifts to the LORD, with the best portion set apart; when you lift the best from it, the reward is given to the priests and you may eat it, free from sin, as a result of honoring the sacred in your life.

Neville's Inner Vision

The text is a map of your inner life. The heave offering is not wheat or gold, but the ascent of your mind toward the highest idea you can conceive. The LORD is the I AM within you, your continuous awareness. When you heave the best from it, that portion is counted not in a temple ledger but in the inner economy of your consciousness; the increase of the threshing floor and winepress becomes the surge of clarity, vitality, and purpose within your own Levites—the faculties you dedicate to serving your inner sanctuary. You may eat this offering in any place, for the reward is the realization that this elevated state is yours now, wherever you stand. You shall bear no sin by taking the best, for the act preserves the sacredness of your inner worship and keeps your holy ideas free from profanation. See this as practice: devotion is an inward revision that yields felt harmony with God within.

Practice This Now

Assume you have already offered your best thought today; feel gratitude and the sense of fullness as a lived reality, then rest in the awareness that this inner offering is your present reward.
