Strong's Lexicon chataah: Sin, sin offering, guilt Original Word: חֲטָאָה Word Origin: Derived from the root חָטָא (chata), meaning "to miss" or "to sin." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - ἁμαρτία (hamartia) - Strong's Greek 266: Often used in the New Testament to denote sin, paralleling the Hebrew concept of "chataah." Usage: The term "chataah" primarily refers to sin, encompassing both the act of sinning and the condition of sinfulness. It can also denote a sin offering, which is a sacrifice made to atone for sin. In the Old Testament, "chataah" is used to describe moral failings, transgressions against God's law, and the inherent sinful nature of humanity. It emphasizes the separation from God caused by sin and the need for atonement. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, sin was understood as a breach of the covenant relationship with God. The sacrificial system, including sin offerings, was central to maintaining this relationship and seeking forgiveness. The concept of sin was not only a personal failing but also had communal implications, affecting the entire community's standing before God. The Law, given through Moses, outlined specific sacrifices and rituals to address sin, highlighting the seriousness with which sin was regarded.
