Strong's Lexicon ashem: To be guilty, to offend, to trespass Original Word: אָשֵׁם Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G264 (ἁμαρτάνω, hamartanō) - to sin - G3900 (παράπτωμα, paraptōma) - trespass, offense Usage: The Hebrew verb "ashem" primarily conveys the idea of being guilty or culpable for an offense or sin. It is often used in the context of moral or legal transgressions, indicating a state of having committed a wrong that requires atonement or restitution. The term can also imply the feeling of guilt or the acknowledgment of wrongdoing. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, the concept of guilt was closely tied to the covenantal relationship between God and His people. The Law, given through Moses, outlined specific commandments and statutes that the Israelites were to follow. Transgressing these laws resulted in guilt, which necessitated offerings and sacrifices to restore the relationship with God. The guilt offering, or "asham," was a specific type of sacrifice prescribed for certain offenses, emphasizing the need for atonement and reconciliation.
