Omniscient – You know everything. You know Your holy convocations. You know what they mean. You know when they are and what they are for. You know why You have them. You know why You explain them over and over again. You know what Your food is and what Your offerings are. You know me. You know my heart and my mind. You know the past and the future. You are all-knowing.
Omnipotent- You can do anything. You have a day for blowing trumpets. You put into Your people’s heart to bring You Your offerings You want. You can make me see and have me hear and help me to understand if You just wanted to. You can do everything You say. You are all-powerful.

You are all Your appointed times. You are time.
Immutable – You do not change. You have continual burnt offerings. You have Your appointed times. Where are they? What are they? Who offers them to You? You will never be made to change.

Infinite – There are no limits or bounds to Your person or dominion. There are no limits to Your continual burnt offering, its grain offering and its libations. You are without limits.
Transcendent – You are apart from Your creation. You teach me about You and Your heavenly throne. You teach me about Your Feast of the Harvest and about Your seventh month. You teach me about the first day and the tenth day and the fifteenth day of Your seventh month. On the fifteenth day You teach me about that week, on the second day, the third day, the fourth day, the fifth day, the sixth day, the seventh day, and the eighth day. You teach me about Your appointed times.
The week of the 15th probably had the new moon it? No the 15th would have the full moon in it. It was the 15th day of the seventh month.
Why do You explain the fests in the seventh month so thoroughly again?

Longsuffering - You are patient with the sons of Israel and slow to anger.
Incomprehensible – the sons of Israel are Your people. They are Your angels and this is about Your heavenly throne. What are Your burnt offerings? Are offerings prayers? Do angels offer prayers? What is Your food? What does ‘for’ mean? For 1) in place of; instead of [to use blankets for coats] 2) as the representative of; in the interest of [to act for another] 3) on defense of; in favor of [to give a banquet for someone]5) with the aim or purpose of [to carry a gun for protection] 9) meant to be received by a specified person or thing, or to be used in a specified way [flowers for a girl].
What does offer one male goat for a sin offering, to make atonement for you mean? It doesn’t say as a sing offering. How do You use a sin offering? How do You use a soothing aroma? What does three-tenths of an ephah for each of the thirteen bulls, two-tenths for each of the two rams’ mean? What does ‘a tenth for each of the fourteen lambs’ mean? Who or what are the lambs? Humans? Souls? Prayers? Why is a male goat also for a sin offering? Who or what are male goats? What does ‘for the bulls, for the rams and for the lambs’ mean? Why is it the same but bulls decreasing in number over and over again?
Jesus was without defect and He offered up Himself to You. He is my model to offer up my soul?
