Berean Strong's Lexicon pesha: Transgression, rebellion, offense Original Word: פֶּשַׁע Word Origin: Derived from the root פָּשַׁע (pasha), meaning "to rebel" or "to transgress." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3847 (parabasis): Often translated as "transgression," referring to the violation of law or command. - G458 (anomia): Translated as "lawlessness," indicating a state of rebellion against God's law. Usage: The Hebrew word "pesha" primarily denotes a willful transgression or rebellion against God's law. It implies a deliberate act of disobedience or defiance, often in a covenantal context. In the Old Testament, "pesha" is used to describe not only individual acts of sin but also national rebellion against God's commandments. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the concept of "pesha" was deeply tied to the covenant relationship between God and His people. Transgressions were seen as breaches of this covenant, which required atonement and repentance. The sacrificial system in the Mosaic Law provided a means for addressing "pesha," emphasizing the seriousness of sin and the need for reconciliation with God. The prophets frequently called out "pesha" as a reason for divine judgment, urging the people to return to God.
