Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts is ἁμαρτία (hamartia), which means "sin" or "error." Usage: The term "mishgeh" refers to an error or mistake, often in the context of moral or spiritual deviation. It implies a departure from the correct path, whether through ignorance, negligence, or willful disobedience. In the Hebrew Bible, it is used to describe actions or thoughts that are misguided or erroneous, leading to sin or moral failure. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, adherence to the Law was paramount, and deviation from it was considered a serious matter.

The Israelites were keenly aware of the need for atonement and correction of errors to maintain their relationship with God.
