Today's reading was mostly atonements and offerings for sins. The most telling part of today's reading was the end where God reminds them that he is Lord and the one that removed them from Egypt and give them a way to remember that they should follow him not their own desires.
It's interesting that they call Psalm 84 a hymn because I recall singing a song in church that is apparently written from this Psalm. As I was reading I was reminded of the words and how much I enjoyed singing it. I like this Psalm and think that it is a great reminder for us to praise God for what he does and to believe that being with him and in his presence, even if for a short time, is better than anything else.

I found that interesting as well. We should all have something to remind us if we need it. I’m not sure why the offerings are changing a bit as it spoke of these offerings previously. I found it interesting that God had the people stone the man gathering wood on the sabbath. That the people had to carry out the punishment as instructed by God.
The psalm speaks of Gods house being the ideal place to dwell. I’m not familiar with the song you speak of.
