• Strong's Greek Number 2643: καταλλαγή (katallage) • reconciliation, restoration to favor

These Greek terms reflect similar themes of sin, atonement, and reconciliation found in the Hebrew concept of חֲטָּיָא, underscoring the continuity of these theological ideas across the biblical canon.

Usage: This Aramaic term is used in the context of religious rituals and practices, particularly those involving atonement and purification from sin. It is found in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament, specifically in the book of Ezra.

Context: The term חֲטָּיָא appears in the Aramaic sections of the Old Testament, notably in the book of Ezra. In Ezra 6:17, it is used to describe the offerings made during the dedication of the Second Temple. The verse states: "For the dedication of this house of God, they offered a hundred bulls, two hundred rams, four hundred lambs, and as a sin offering for all Israel, twelve male goats, according to the number of the tribes of Israel" (BSB). This highlights the importance of expiation in the religious life of Israel, where offerings were made to atone for the sins of the people and to restore their relationship with God. The concept of expiation is central to the sacrificial system, serving as a means to cleanse and purify the community from transgressions.
