Strong's Lexicon chattaah: Sin, sin offering Original Word: חַטָּאָה Word Origin: Derived from the root חָטָא (chata), meaning "to miss" or "to sin." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - ἁμαρτία (hamartia) - Strong's Greek 266: Often used in the New Testament to denote sin, paralleling the Hebrew concept of "chattaah." Usage: The term "chattaah" primarily refers to sin, encompassing both the act of sinning and the condition of sinfulness. It is used to describe moral failings, transgressions against God's law, and the inherent sinful nature of humanity. Additionally, "chattaah" can refer to a sin offering, a sacrifice made to atone for sin and restore the relationship between the sinner and God. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, sin was understood as a breach of the covenant relationship with God, requiring atonement to restore harmony. The sacrificial system, as outlined in the Torah, provided a means for the Israelites to address their sins through offerings. The sin offering, or "chattaah," was a crucial aspect of this system, symbolizing repentance and the seeking of divine forgiveness. This practice underscored the seriousness of sin and the need for purification and reconciliation with God. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originthe same as chattaya, q.v.
