Neville Goddard on Ruth 3:13 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ruth 3 in context

Scripture Focus

13Tarry this night, and it shall be in the morning, that if he will perform unto thee the part of a kinsman, well; let him do the kinsman's part: but if he will not do the part of a kinsman to thee, then will I do the part of a kinsman to thee, as the LORD liveth: lie down until the morning.

Ruth 3:13

Biblical Context

Ruth is told to wait through the night; if the kinsman redeemer will redeem, he should, and if not, Boaz will redeem. This scene symbolizes the soul’s readiness for inner redemption.

Neville's Inner Vision

Ruth 3:13 is not a transaction in a village market but a description of states within your consciousness. The night of waiting is your incubation time, where a new state of being longs to be born. Ruth, the faithful maiden, represents your receptive heart; Boaz stands for the inner will that can perform the part of a redeemer in your life. The law and the covenant are not external mandates but your habitual thoughts about want, scarcity, and mercy. When Ruth asks for mercy, she invites the redeemer; in your mind, you invite the I AM to assume the role of redeemer, bringing salvation, loyalty, and a renewed covenant in the moment. If a former habit resists, the vow I AM, as the LORD liveth, becomes the inner oath you keep to your consciousness. Lie down until the morning is a call to rest in the subconscious, trusting that the new state is forming within and will awaken in due time. The conditional pact dissolves when you affirm the I AM as the doer and the loyalty of love as the law that redeems.

Practice This Now

Tonight, close your eyes and assume the redeemer within. Feel it real by silently affirming I AM the redeemer of my life and resting in that truth until morning.
