I was researching covenants recently and I noticed Factbook didn't have any entries for the Levitical Covenant. The dictionary of biblical prophecy and end times has an entry for it. Not sure on others just yet.
Any thoughts as to why?
The Mosaic Covenant In the exodus, when the Lord delivers Israel from Egyptian slavery (see Gen 15:13–14), He renews the covenant with Moses at Sinai. This reconstitutes the 12 tribes into a “kingdom of priests”—a national family of God (Exod 19–24). Israel’s subsequent worship of the calf (Exod 32) necessitates a renewal, and reconfiguration of the covenant (Exod 34:1–35), where the general priesthood of the firstborns of Israel is transferred to the Levites (Exod 32:27–29; Num 3:5–51). The Levitical covenant brings about a number of legal changes and additions (Exod 35–Lev 27).Hahn, Scott. “Covenant.” The Lexham Bible Dictionary, edited by John D. Barry et al., Lexham Press, 2016. The Levitical covenant is by no means as prominent in Scripture or in biblical theological studies as the Abrahamic, Mosaic, Davidic, and new covenants. Hebrews 7–8 seems to depict it as a corollary of the Mosaic covenant. Taylor, Richard A., and E. Ray Clendenen. Haggai, Malachi. Broadman & Holman Publishers, 2004, p. 296.

It seems like it is usually considered part of the Mosaic Covenant rather than a distinct thing.
I get it but there are some who do consider it, it’s own

Thank you @Mattillo and @Justin Gatlin - I just wrote a response to Logos bias against Oneness Pentecostals and you have provided a beautiful example of bias where likely none was intended. We all use words expecting them to mean what they would mean when we use them. The first point taught in a class I took in apologetics was that one can never assume the same word means what it means in your denomination when speaking to someone outside the denomination.

hello all, i am interested in buying a new iPad to use mostly with logos and maybe a little with Dwell. I haven’t seen a ton of screenshots of the iPad mini with logos on the internet.

This has been happening for some time over at least the last few releases. When choosing "Library" from the main toolbar, the CPU immediately spikes to 100% and stays there until the pane is closed or the app is force-quit. There is an article that mentions it could be related to indexing but the app was just upgraded to…
As far as I see, the Carta Understanding series is no longer available in the shop. Is this related to past issues (see here)?
