Neville Goddard on Numbers 3:21-22 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Numbers 3 in context

Scripture Focus

21Of Gershon was the family of the Libnites, and the family of the Shimites: these are the families of the Gershonites.

22Those that were numbered of them, according to the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, even those that were numbered of them were seven thousand and five hundred.

Numbers 3:21-22

Biblical Context

The verses name the Gershonite sub-families and report a census of all males from one month old and up, totaling seven thousand five hundred. It emphasizes the order and dignity of each lineage within the community.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the Numbers, the census is not a record of a march of external numbers but a revelation of your inner order. The Libnites and Shimites symbolize inner dispositions already present in your mind; the count of every male from a month old upward reflects the totality of living possibilities you have verbally or mentally assumed as yours. These figures measure your states of consciousness, not people. When you acknowledge the I AM within and feel its unity with God, you are tallying an inner temple rather than an outward crowd. If you seek wholeness, revise the belief of lack and lean into the sense of abundance: every part of self is sacred and well-placed, and unity with the divine order is your natural condition.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the role of the inner census-taker; count each faculty as a living member of your self, and feel the total as 7,500, indivisible and dignified. Say softly, I AM, and let that awareness revise all lacking thoughts into unity.
