Berean Strong's Lexicon ashmah: Guilt, offense, sin, wrongdoing Original Word: אַשְׁמָה Word Origin: Derived from the root אָשַׁם (asham), which means to be guilty or to offend. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G266 (ἁμαρτία, hamartia) - sin - G3900 (παράπτωμα, paraptoma) - trespass, offense Usage: The Hebrew word "ashmah" primarily denotes a state of guilt or the condition of having committed an offense. It is often used in the context of moral or legal transgressions against God's laws. The term can refer to both the act of sinning and the resultant state of guilt that follows. In the Old Testament, "ashmah" is frequently associated with the need for atonement and the offering of sacrifices to restore one's relationship with God. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, the concept of guilt was deeply intertwined with 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 "ashmah," or guilt, which required atonement through prescribed sacrifices. This system underscored the holiness of God and the seriousness of sin, emphasizing the need for repentance and reconciliation.
