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.

Here are three things I cannot do in footnotes of a Logos book. I cannot highlight text. I think I supposed to be able to because right-clicking brings up the context menu. But clicking on a highlight choice does not change anything. I cannot anchor my note to the footnote text. The "Add note" menu choice is not available.…
Do you have any idea how frustrating it is to not be able to get simple information out of Logos e.g. which Bibles contain the Letter of Manasseh? the list should be a subset of the Bibles containing the Apocrypha. One can easily bulid a search to find them only to find one facing a chasm of how to get them from here to…

Hey All - I didn't realize it until after preaching last week, but Sermon Editor within Logos is not bringing in/preserving the capitalized LORD format of Yahweh from the ESV.
