Neville Goddard on Numbers 27:3-4 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Numbers 27 in context

Scripture Focus

3Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not in the company of them that gathered themselves together against the LORD in the company of Korah; but died in his own sin, and had no sons.

4Why should the name of our father be done away from among his family, because he hath no son? Give unto us therefore a possession among the brethren of our father.

Numbers 27:3-4

Biblical Context

In Numbers 27:3–4, the daughters plead that their father’s name not be erased for lack of a son, requesting a share among the family.

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of the scene as an inner map. The father who died in the wilderness is your trusted idea of self—the line that should continue within your consciousness. The question 'Why should the name be done away?' becomes a call to guard your inner covenant against any belief that a lack of 'sons' can erase your identity. The sisters’ petition points to the true inheritance: not land, but the continuity of your I AM through your faculties and feelings. When you refuse the extinction of your line, you are simply choosing a state of consciousness that cannot die, because it lives wherever you stand in awareness. The law here is spiritual: you become what you imagine. Now assume the feeling that your inheritance is already yours, that the name of your father travels through you as your own I AM. Revise any sense of limitation, and feel it real that your true identity and estate are established in this moment.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly, close your eyes, and assume the feeling that you already possess your inheritance now. Dwell in that state until it feels true.
