Neville Goddard on Numbers 29:1-11 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Numbers 29 in context

Scripture Focus

1And in the seventh month, on the first day of the month, ye shall have an holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work: it is a day of blowing the trumpets unto you.

2And ye shall offer a burnt offering for a sweet savour unto the LORD; one young bullock, one ram, and seven lambs of the first year without blemish:

3And their meat offering shall be of flour mingled with oil, three tenth deals for a bullock, and two tenth deals for a ram,

4And one tenth deal for one lamb, throughout the seven lambs:

5And one kid of the goats for a sin offering, to make an atonement for you:

6Beside the burnt offering of the month, and his meat offering, and the daily burnt offering, and his meat offering, and their drink offerings, according unto their manner, for a sweet savour, a sacrifice made by fire unto the LORD.

7And ye shall have on the tenth day of this seventh month an holy convocation; and ye shall afflict your souls: ye shall not do any work therein:

8But ye shall offer a burnt offering unto the LORD for a sweet savour; one young bullock, one ram, and seven lambs of the first year; they shall be unto you without blemish:

9And their meat offering shall be of flour mingled with oil, three tenth deals to a bullock, and two tenth deals to one ram,

10A several tenth deal for one lamb, throughout the seven lambs:

11One kid of the goats for a sin offering; beside the sin offering of atonement, and the continual burnt offering, and the meat offering of it, and their drink offerings.

Numbers 29:1-11

Biblical Context

Numbers 29:1-11 prescribes a seventh-month holy assembly with trumpet blasts, rest from labor, and various offerings for atonement and sweet savor. It frames worship as covenant fidelity and separation unto the divine.

Neville's Inner Vision

Here the outer rite is not a ritual to be repeated outside; it is a map of your inner life, a guide to transforming consciousness. The seventh month represents your widened awareness, and the holy convocation on its first day is the moment you pause and listen to the inner trumpet of I AM. The offerings symbolize the states of consciousness you choose to express: the burnt offering as total devotion to your divine nature, the sin offering as the release of guilt, and the grain offerings as nourishment for your imagination. The instruction to do no servile work invites a deliberate stillness, a turning away from outward activity so true worship—alignment with your I AM—may arise. The atonement rite speaks of healed union, not punishment, through recognizing your unity with God. By honoring the cycle of rest, offering, and renewal, you practice covenant loyalty to the self you are in God, and allow the inner law to manifest in outer life.
