The Inner Passover Practice
Numbers 9:10-14 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Numbers 9 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Numbers 9:10-14 shows that Passover may be kept by those unclean or on a journey, on the fourteenth day of the second month, with unleavened bread and bitter herbs. It also warns that anyone who willfully withholds the offering loses standing, and that a stranger shares the same ordinance.
Neville's Inner Vision
Through this text, see the Passover not as a calendar rite but as a state of mind you assume. The unclean by a dead body or the one far away stands for any mind bound to old identificacions—the 'dead body' of fear, guilt, and habit—who can still keep the feast by a shift of heart when the moment comes. The second month’s evening points to a renewal, a second opportunity to awaken to your true nature. Eating unleavened bread and bitter herbs symbolizes feasting on truth without the yeast of pride or argument, tasting reality in the present with clarity. The instruction to leave none of it until morning and not to break a bone speaks of integrity: let the realized state be maintained with discipline and not allowed to rot away into forgetfulness. The one who is clean but does not keep it illustrates how neglecting the inner ordinance creates a breach in your world. The stranger who keeps the Passover mirrors your own inclusion of any state of consciousness—there is unity in the law. The inner law you observe becomes your external kingdom.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Close your eyes and imagine you have already kept the Passover this moment. Say, I am the I AM; I am kept by the inner ordinance, and I feel calm, clear, and connected to all that is.
