Strong's Lexicon Chatita: Sin, offense, wrongdoing Original Word: חֲטִיטָא Word Origin: Derived from the root חָטָא (chata), meaning "to miss" or "to sin." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint and the New Testament is ἁμαρτία (hamartia), Strong's Greek #266, which also means sin or offense. Usage: The term "Chatita" is used to denote an act of sin or transgression against divine law. It emphasizes the concept of missing the mark or failing to meet God's standards. In the Hebrew Bible, it often refers to moral and ethical failings that separate individuals from God. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, sin was not merely a legal or moral failing but a breach in the covenant relationship with God. The Israelites understood sin as an act that required atonement and reconciliation. Sacrificial systems and rituals were established to address sin and restore the relationship between God and His people. The concept of sin was deeply embedded in the community's understanding of holiness and purity, influencing their daily lives and religious practices.
