Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from the root חָטָא (chata'), which means "to miss" or "to sin."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: G459: ἄνομος (anomos) • This Greek term is used in the New Testament to describe someone who is "lawless" or "without law," often translated as "wicked" or "transgressor." It parallels the Hebrew concept of being guilty or sinful.
G765: ἀσεβής (asebēs) • This Greek word means "ungodly" or "impious," referring to those who act in defiance of divine law or moral standards, similar to the Hebrew חַטָּא.

In summary, חַטָּא (chattā') is a significant term in the Hebrew Bible, encapsulating the notion of guilt and the human propensity to sin, while also pointing towards the necessity of divine grace and redemption.

Usage: The word חַטָּא is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote individuals who have transgressed against divine law or moral standards. It often carries the connotation of being culpable or deserving of punishment due to one's actions.

Context: • The term חַטָּא (chattā') is frequently used in the Old Testament to describe those who have committed sins or are regarded as guilty before God. It is often associated with moral and legal transgressions, emphasizing the individual's responsibility and accountability for their actions.
• In the context of the Hebrew Scriptures, חַטָּא is used to highlight the contrast between the righteous and the wicked. For example, in Genesis 13:13, the men of Sodom are described as "wicked, sinning greatly against the LORD" (BSB), illustrating their status as חַטָּא.
• The term is also used in legal contexts, where it denotes those who have violated specific laws or commandments, thereby incurring guilt and the need for atonement or punishment.
• The concept of חַטָּא is integral to the biblical understanding of sin and redemption, as it underscores the need for repentance and divine forgiveness. The sacrificial system in the Old Testament, for instance, provided a means for the חַטָּא to seek atonement and restore their relationship with God.
