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.

Hi, May I know how do I move the F7 Comparison pane to main monitor (right side) ? v47.0.332
Hello. Why Study Asssitant cannot be duplicated?
Is it just me or does it seem that Logos Bible Software in general is very much against Oneness Pentecostals? I feel that most of their resources, responses, even now with the use of AI it is always wanting to disprove what I believe. I purchased Logos because I thought it would just be factual and give me the resources…
If I could have Logos "Books" searches include unowned books that have been recommended to me or have somehow caught my interest, that might help me to make purchase decisions. For example, search results might reveal: Hmm, I'm my library is lacking on this topic but oh look, it's in that book that my pastor mentioned in…
