Neville Goddard on Numbers 3:38 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Numbers 3 in context

Scripture Focus

38But those that encamp before the tabernacle toward the east, even before the tabernacle of the congregation eastward, shall be Moses, and Aaron and his sons, keeping the charge of the sanctuary for the charge of the children of Israel; and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.

Numbers 3:38

Biblical Context

Plainly, the text marks the eastern camp as the sacred charge of Moses, Aaron, and their sons guarding the sanctuary. It declares that the stranger who comes near shall be put to death.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this bare line of numbers lies a map of your inner state. The eastward camp stands as the threshold of awareness where the I AM, your present awareness, stands watch. Moses and Aaron and their sons are the active faculties—memory, attention, will—charged with keeping the sanctuary clean from inessential intruders. The stranger that comes near stands for fear, habit, or a belief not worthy of your inner state; the decree to put him to death is an invitation to revision: do not entertain or permit that old state to dwell in your awareness. When you live in imagination as if you already occupy the eastern post, you energize a discipline of holiness within, and the Presence of God becomes your constant guard. This is not external law but an inner posture: you decide which states dwell within, and you close the door on what lowers the vibration of your sanctuary. By aligning with the I AM, you allow your life to reflect the ordered camp and the Presence that protects it.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Assume the eastern post within your mind and guard the sanctuary as Moses and Aaron do. Revise fear until the Presence feels real in your life.
