The book of Psalms is known to be the bipolar book of the gospels. David's enthusiastic and then he's asking why God was far from him
Psalm 99-102
-God reigns
-God hears and answers our call
-God is to be exalted
-God's love endures forever.

I have learned that all the small things in the OT are extremely critical when knowing God and the bibles history.

Leviticus 3-5
3: -Animal sacrifice
-The animal had to be without defect.
-It was also known as a fellowship offering.

4: - The sin offering was for everyone.
- I found it interesting how it was for people who sinned "unintentionally".
- I also found it interesting how only animals were used as sacrifices. Maybe because they were they only thing that was considered cleaned?

5: -There was a guilty offering that was held for people who knowingly sinned or became aware of their sin.
- This reminded me of Adam & Eve when they became aware of the world around them and their nakedness after they ate the forbidden fruit.
-The priest would usually make atonement for them. (Atonement= in replacement of.) (represent)
