Numbers 7:13-14

Biblical Context

Numbers 7:13–14 describes a silver charger and bowl holding flour mixed with oil for a meat offering, and a gold spoon full of incense. These vessels symbolize the act of worship through tangible offerings.

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville Goddard, Numbers 7:13–14 reveals not metal and grain but inner states offered to the I AM. The silver charger and bowl symbolize the mind’s clear receptivity and its capacity to bear a nourishing thought; the flour mingled with oil is your idea joined with feeling—an image sustained by spiritual oil, i.e., alignment with divine life. The spoon of gold, full of incense, is the fragrance of a prayer imagined with certainty, rising from the consciousness that you are already one with the I AM. Worship then is inner alignment, not ritualistic action; you do not petition from fear but assume the truth of your wish and let the form follow as a natural outgrowth of that state. The sanctuary and the standard are the field of awareness within you; set your standard by the immovable conviction that you are that I AM, and events will reflect the inner decree. Practice regularly: dwell in the assumption that your desire is already complete, feel the feelings of completion, and let imagination do the work of turning inner vision into outward experience.

Practice This Now

Practice: Assume the state of your wish fulfilled right now—see yourself as the I AM, holding the charger and incense, and feel the satisfaction as if it were real.
