Neville Goddard on Numbers 28:3-6 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Numbers 28 in context

Scripture Focus

3And thou shalt say unto them, This is the offering made by fire which ye shall offer unto the LORD; two lambs of the first year without spot day by day, for a continual burnt offering.

4The one lamb shalt thou offer in the morning, and the other lamb shalt thou offer at even;

5And a tenth part of an ephah of flour for a meat offering, mingled with the fourth part of an hin of beaten oil.

6It is a continual burnt offering, which was ordained in mount Sinai for a sweet savour, a sacrifice made by fire unto the LORD.

Numbers 28:3-6

Biblical Context

The passage commands a daily, continual burnt offering. Two spotless lambs are offered in the morning and at evening, with flour and oil, as a fragrant sacrifice to the LORD.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this text, the daily burnt offering is not a ritual to some distant power, but a map of your own inner state. The two lambs symbolize two streams of consciousness you continuously offer to the I AM within you: attention offered with constancy, and gratitude offered with trust. Morning and evening are not hours on a clock but reminders that your inner kingdom is perpetually awake. The flour and oil represent the thoughts you choose to mix into your offering—precious images and feelings that nourish the flame rather than feed fear. When you regard your life as a sweet savour rising from a mind aligned with the I AM, you discover that holiness is a state you cultivate, not a place you reach. Sinai becomes your own awakening to the reality that you are the one who sacrifices and is sacrificed to, by the law of consciousness. Practice: refuse to identify with lack, and announce inwardly that you are already issuing this continual offering to the LORD of your own awareness.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: In the morning and again at night, assume you are offering two lambs—your attention and gratitude—to the I AM within. Feel the sweet savour rise in your mind as you accept that this is already done.
