Berean Strong's Lexicon chatay: Sin, sinful, sinner Original Word: חֲטָאִי Word Origin: Derived from the root חָטָא (chata), meaning "to miss" or "to sin." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G266 (ἁμαρτία, hamartia) - sin - G268 (ἁμαρτωλός, hamartolos) - sinner Usage: The term "chatay" is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote sin or the state of being sinful. It often refers to moral failings or transgressions against God's commandments. The word emphasizes the idea of missing the mark or falling short of God's standards. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, sin was understood as a breach of the covenant relationship with God. The Israelites were given the Law through Moses, which outlined the standards of holiness and righteousness expected by God. Sin, therefore, was not just a personal failing but a communal issue that affected the entire community's relationship with God. Sacrifices and offerings were instituted as a means of atonement and restoration of fellowship with God.
