Neville Goddard on Ruth 3:14-15 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ruth 3 in context

Scripture Focus

14And she lay at his feet until the morning: and she rose up before one could know another. And he said, Let it not be known that a woman came into the floor.

15Also he said, Bring the vail that thou hast upon thee, and hold it. And when she held it, he measured six measures of barley, and laid it on her: and she went into the city.

Ruth 3:14-15

Biblical Context

Ruth lies by Boaz's feet, is told to keep the moment discreet, and receives a blessing in the form of six measures of barley, symbolizing provision returning to the city.

Neville's Inner Vision

Ruth 3:14–15 is not about a social scene but a parable of the soul aligning with the I AM. The feet denote readiness; lying at the feet is a posture of receptive faith, a willingness to be led by the higher self. The instruction to keep the moment private protects the seed of your desire so it can germinate in the unseen without the noise of fear. The veil she holds becomes a symbol of the boundary you place between old story and new life, your felt-sense assumption of fullness. The six measures of barley are not mere grain but abundance summoned by your inner state when you act in harmony with truth rather than out of need. When you revise your inner narrative and assume the end, you invite Providence to perform its covenant exchange: the token you hold becomes the world’s blessing. Trust the process, dwell in the I AM, and let the scene unfold as a natural expression of your now-established reality.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly, declare, 'I am provided for,' and hold the awareness as if six measures of barley are already laid before you, feeling the blessing entering your day.
