Inner Tabernacle Stewardship
Numbers 3:35-37 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Numbers 3 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Merari’s line is charged with overseeing the tabernacle’s boards, bars, pillars, sockets, vessels, and the court’s pillars, pins, and cords—a structured assignment of sacred fixtures. This describes how inward order shapes outward worship.
Neville's Inner Vision
Read through Neville Goddard’s lens, Numbers 3:35–37 speaks not of bronze and wood alone but of the mind’s architecture. The Merari charge—placed on the north side, the boards, bars, pillars, sockets, and all that serves them, along with the pillars of the court—represents the structuring of consciousness. In this view, the tabernacle is your inner temple, and its elements are states of awareness: boards are your beliefs that give shape; bars and pillars are the boundaries and support your I AM asserts around those beliefs; sockets and cords are the binding relationships that keep the form intact. The vessels and fixtures are the feelings and ideas that animate the whole structure. Zuriel, the chief, stands as the I AM guiding the arrangement, ensuring every part stays in its proper place. When you inhabit this scene in imagination, you recognize that order in consciousness precedes order in experience; by assuming the right inner form and feeling it as real, you invite the outer life to reflect that inner architecture. Your reality becomes the faithful likeness of your inner tabernacle.
Practice This Now
Sit quietly and imagine you are Zuriel, guardian of your own Merari charge, placing the boards, bars, pillars, sockets, and cords around your inner tabernacle. Then declare, 'I AM the one who frames my reality,' and feel it real.
