Leviticus - Lists Update

Here's how I'm doing on the lists I'm keeping: So far, I've counted 12 scripture passages that talk about God's breath/wind/spirit (all the same word in Hebrew) but in Leviticus, just about everything is "pleasing to God's nostrils." The phrase "Here I am" - 7 times. God's covenant with Israel is repeated 15 times. The "Fear of the Lord" - 4 times. Sabbath related laws - 5 places so far. God is "Gracious merciful, slow to anger and abounding in love" - only once so far...but I know this one is going to pop up again and again. Laws that are difficult to understand - too many to count.
