Neville Goddard on Numbers 20:19 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Numbers 20 in context

Scripture Focus

19And the children of Israel said unto him, We will go by the high way: and if I and my cattle drink of thy water, then I will pay for it: I will only, without doing anything else, go through on my feet.

Numbers 20:19

Biblical Context

Israelites declare they will travel by the high way and pay for water if their cattle drink. The act encodes a principle of honest exchange and rightful use of resources.

Neville's Inner Vision

To the seeker, Numbers 20:19 speaks not of roads but of a state of consciousness choosing the higher route. The water and the cattle represent the resources of life that one uses; to say 'I will pay for it' is to acknowledge that nothing is taken without acknowledging its rightful debt to the whole. The insistence on traveling 'by the high way' signals a single-minded ascent of awareness, where you refuse to drift through life on the poor me or the fear of scarcity. When you as I AM stand behind the scene, you revise any perception of shortage by affirming that you owe nothing to lack, yet you honor every share of life by fair exchange. The owner of the water becomes a mirror for your own consciousness, a call to honor the law of reciprocal giving and receiving. As you dwell in this inner stance, your world responds with ease: resources appear as you imagine them, and the sense of obligation to your neighbor dissolves into cooperative abundance.

Practice This Now

Assume you are the I AM passing through a day, freely using a resource, and mentally declare, 'I will pay for it.' Feel the abundance of life flow through you as you move forward, settled in rightful exchange.
