Inner Passover Reality

Numbers 9:6-14 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Numbers 9 in context

Scripture Focus

6And there were certain men, who were defiled by the dead body of a man, that they could not keep the passover on that day: and they came before Moses and before Aaron on that day:
7And those men said unto him, We are defiled by the dead body of a man: wherefore are we kept back, that we may not offer an offering of the LORD in his appointed season among the children of Israel?
8And Moses said unto them, Stand still, and I will hear what the LORD will command concerning you.
9And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
10Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If any man of you or of your posterity shall be unclean by reason of a dead body, or be in a journey afar off, yet he shall keep the passover unto the LORD.
11The fourteenth day of the second month at even they shall keep it, and eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.
12They shall leave none of it unto the morning, nor break any bone of it: according to all the ordinances of the passover they shall keep it.
13But the man that is clean, and is not in a journey, and forbeareth to keep the passover, even the same soul shall be cut off from among his people: because he brought not the offering of the LORD in his appointed season, that man shall bear his sin.
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 9:6-14

Biblical Context

Some men defiled by a dead body couldn't keep the Passover. The text allows a delayed observance for impurity or distance, with a single ordinance for stranger and native.

Neville's Inner Vision

Here the defilement by a dead body is a symbol of a belief or memory that seems to block your access to the Passover—the state of consciousness in which you are one with the Lord, your own I AM. The law’s mercy—the Passover kept on the fourteenth day of the second month for the unclean or the traveler—teaches that no inner condition can permanently bar you from the feast of awareness, provided you acknowledge and revise it in imagination. The instruction to observe seamlessly, for native and stranger alike, points to the universality of the covenant: every aspect of your life is included in the I AM when you refuse to deny your oneness with the divine present. When you are clean or away from the body’s disturbance, you are invited to keep the feast; when you are not, there is always a revised moment in which you can partake, by choosing to imagine yourself already in the observed season. This is not ceremony; it is the creative act of becoming the state you desire, the awareness that calls creation into being.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and imagine you are already keeping the Passover now, regardless of perceived impurity. Repeat, I am clean and I keep the Passover in the present moment; feel the release as a tangible, familiar presence.
