Neville Goddard on Numbers 9:14 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Numbers 9 in context

Scripture Focus

14And if a stranger shall sojourn among you, and will keep the passover unto the LORD; according to the ordinance of the passover, and according to the manner thereof, so shall he do: ye shall have one ordinance, both for the stranger, and for him that was born in the land.

Numbers 9:14

Biblical Context

The verse declares that a stranger who dwells with the people may observe the Passover by the same rule as natives; there is one law for both. This points to inner unity—no separation between 'self' and 'other'—all come under the same covenant.

Neville's Inner Vision

Your mind is the camp, and every visitor within is a facet of the I AM. The stranger represents any part of you not yet given home in your consciousness; the Passover is your shift from bondage to awareness. When you accept that there is one ordinance for stranger and native, you practice covenant loyalty to the wholeness of self. The decree is not a ritual outside you, but a movement in consciousness: you decide that all segments of your being are part of the same divine life. To live this is to stop pretending some aspects of self are excluded from your spiritual feast. As you dwell in the awareness that 'one ordinance' governs all, you permit fear, doubt, or longing to come to the table and be included. The result is unity: the inner house becomes one family, and deliverance from limitation occurs as a natural inner acceptance.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and imagine the stranger within as a guest at your Passover feast of consciousness. Repeat the assumption: there is one ordinance for all inner states, and feel it-real until it becomes your living sense of being.
