In this Bible Study we we look at the final of the offerings in the opening chapters of Leviticus, the Guilt or Restitution offering.  This offering is unique to the others in that it requires restitution be made to the offended party and an additional penalty be paid for the sin (whatever it was).  This has application for us today, as we ask the Lord if there are wrongs we have done in our past that we need to make right.
