Usage: The verb אָשַׁם (asham) is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote the state of being guilty or liable for wrongdoing. It often implies the consequence of guilt, such as punishment or perishing. The term can also refer to the feeling of guilt or the acknowledgment of wrongdoing. Context: The Hebrew verb אָשַׁם (asham) is a significant term in the Old Testament, reflecting the concept of guilt and its consequences. It appears in various contexts, often associated with sin and the resulting need for atonement or punishment. The term is used to describe both the state of being guilty and the resultant actions or penalties that follow. In Levitical law, אָשַׁם is frequently connected with offerings and sacrifices, particularly the guilt offering (Leviticus 5:15-19). This offering was required when an individual became aware of their guilt in matters concerning the holy things of the LORD or in cases of unintentional sin. The guilt offering served as a means of atonement, allowing the individual to be reconciled with God. The concept of אָשַׁם extends beyond legal guilt to encompass moral and spiritual dimensions. It is used to describe the collective guilt of a nation, as seen in passages where Israel acknowledges its transgressions and seeks forgiveness (e.g., Isaiah 6:7, "Your guilt is taken away, and your sin atoned for"). The term also appears in prophetic literature, where it is used to highlight the consequences of sin and the need for repentance. For example, in Hosea 5:15, God declares, "I will return again to My place until they have borne their guilt and seek My face." Overall, אָשַׁם underscores the seriousness of sin and the necessity of addressing guilt through appropriate means, whether through offerings, repentance, or divine intervention.
