Leviticus 7:1-10 and Luke 13:1-9 (NLT)

Leviticus 7:1-10
The Guilt Offering

1   “These are the instructions for the guilt offering. It is most holy. 

2   The animal sacrificed as a guilt offering must be slaughtered at the place where the burnt offerings are slaughtered, and its blood must be splattered against all sides of the altar. 

3   The priest will then offer all its fat on the altar, including the fat of the broad tail, the fat around the internal organs, 

4   the two kidneys and the fat around them near the loins, and the long lobe of the liver. These are to be removed with the kidneys, 

5   and the priests will burn them on the altar as a special gift presented to the Lord. This is the guilt offering.

6   Any male from a priest’s family may eat the meat. It must be eaten in a sacred place, for it is most holy.

7   “The same instructions apply to both the guilt offering and the sin offering. Both belong to the priest who uses them to purify someone, making that person right with the Lord. 

8   In the case of the burnt offering, the priest may keep the hide of the sacrificed animal. 

9   Any grain offering that has been baked in an oven, prepared in a pan, or cooked on a griddle belongs to the priest who presents it. 

10  All other grain offerings, whether made of dry flour or flour moistened with olive oil, are to be shared equally among all the priests, the descendants of Aaron.

Luke 13:1-9
Repent or Perish
1    About this time Jesus was informed that Pilate had murdered some people from Galilee as they were offering sacrifices at the Temple.
2    “Do you think those Galileans were worse sinners than all the other people from Galilee?” Jesus asked. “Is that why they suffered? 
3     Not at all! And you will perish, too, unless you repent of your sins and turn to God. 
4    And what about the eighteen people who died when the tower in Siloam fell on them? Were they the worst sinners in Jerusalem? 
5    No, and I tell you again that unless you repent, you will perish, too.”
6    Then Jesus told this story: “A man planted a fig tree in his garden and came again and again to see if there was any fruit on it, but he was always disappointed. 
7    Finally, he said to his gardener, ‘I’ve waited three years, and there hasn’t been a single fig! Cut it down. It’s just taking up space in the garden.’
8    “The gardener answered, ‘Sir, give it one more chance. Leave it another year, and I’ll give it special attention and plenty of fertilizer. 
9    If we get figs next year, fine. If not, then you can cut it down.’”
