Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • The Greek equivalent for the concept of sin and its expiation can be found in Strong's Greek entries such as ἁμαρτία (hamartia • G266), which refers to sin, and ἱλαστήριον (hilasterion • G2435), which refers to a means of expiation or propitiation. These terms are used in the New Testament to describe the nature of sin and the atoning work of Christ.

Usage: This Aramaic term is used in the context of sin and its consequences, including the need for atonement through sacrifice. It appears in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament, particularly in the books of Ezra and Daniel.

Context: • The term חַטָּאָה (chatta'ah) is primarily used in the context of sin and its expiation. In the Old Testament, sin is understood as a deviation from God's commandments, and חַטָּאָה encompasses both the act of sinning and the necessary response to it. This response often involves a sacrificial offering, which serves to atone for the sin and restore the relationship between the individual and God.
• In the Aramaic sections of the Bible, such as in the book of Daniel, the term is used to describe the transgressions of the people and the need for divine forgiveness. The concept of חַטָּאָה underscores the seriousness of sin and the importance of repentance and atonement.
• The sacrificial system in the Old Testament, which includes offerings for חַטָּאָה, points to the need for a mediator between humanity and God. This system foreshadows the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ, who, according to Christian theology, provides the final atonement for sin.
