Today's reading listed specific laws being set forth and I had a lot of confusion and questions. There are some things in there that I understand would not really relate to the current time, but there are also quite a few that we really still adhere to today. I don't know that I was able to really give today's chapters the attention that they need and I would like to go back to them on the catch-up day and see if I can see something different or more. Hopefully one of you might have more insight than I do on this.
Psalm 43, according to the explanation, works in conjunction with yesterday's Psalm in dealing with enemies.

I saw alot of our current laws and rules in today's readings. Some are unrelated or I can see where some have had little change. But it's interesting how much this is reflective in the laws we follow today. There are definitely some that seem only related to the time in which they lived. I was interested in the 3 festivals. I can see how these are similar to some that are celebrated by some cultures, or how they relate to farm work as they are about harvest and giving your first fruits. I am curious if they are related to any holidays we celebrate now that have been transformed into something else. I did look up what the month of Aviv is as it spoke of it. I found that it is March in an ecclesiastical calendar. Although I don't know what the calendar looks like.
The psalm appears to be a continuation of the previous one. He is asking for vindication and troubled by his downcast soul still asking God to bring him out of it.
