Neville Goddard on Numbers 35:20-21 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Numbers 35 in context

Scripture Focus

20But if he thrust him of hatred, or hurl at him by laying of wait, that he die;

21Or in enmity smite him with his hand, that he die: he that smote him shall surely be put to death; for he is a murderer: the revenger of blood shall slay the murderer, when he meeteth him.

Numbers 35:20-21

Biblical Context

The passage says that killing out of hatred or malice makes the killer a murderer, and the avenger will meet him to enact judgment. In plain terms, outer violence reflects inner enmity.

Neville's Inner Vision

The outer act of murder is the visible echo of an inward state. When hatred hardens in the heart, you “thrust” at life in imagination and call forth a form of self-judgment. The Revenger of Blood is not an external agent but the I AM—the ever-present ruler of awareness—meeting your own creation with a new movement of consciousness. The law in Numbers becomes a map of your inner order: when you harbor enmity, you are at war within and invite retaliation into your experience. The remedy is to assume the I AM now as the sovereign, the unwavering witness who blesses and forgives. See the other as a symbol of your wholeness, not an enemy; feel the reality of unity; imagine releasing judgment and extending compassion. As you dwell in that awareness, the need for punishment dissolves and your life aligns with divine order. The moment of confrontation becomes a moment of constructive alignment with God within.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and repeat, 'I AM the all-humane witness; I forgive and release enmity.' Then visualize meeting the one you opposed with calm blessing, and feel the sensation of unity as if it were real in this moment.
