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.

Is there a way to upload pdf files to the My Library or any other location in Logos?
in today's entry in Today in Christian History: Daily Stories: "The librarian said two similar baskets full had been used to kindle fires.*" I'm wondering why it's starred. I've checked the beginning of the document, and the end of it, and the end of the day's story itself, but there seems to be nothing. Anyone have…
I have always assumed the answer is Yes, but in recent months I have reported the same typos several times for one of the KJV Bible resources, and keep finding the same typo again several months later (in a repeating cycle of Psalms readings I have set up). Can anyone from Logos confirm whether fixing typos is still done?…
I tried to use the ESV Audio Bible in class today and it says it couldn't access the media. I am online and I tried to "download the media", but there is no option to do that. This is the first time I tried this after upgrading to the subscription service. My system is up to date and online…
I'm using the recent tablet version, but unless I'm connected to wifi I can't even search my top Bible. I couldn't find anything about it in the 'help'. Am I doing something wrong?
