Strong's Lexicon shagag: To err, to go astray, to sin unintentionally Original Word: שָׁגַג Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G264 (ἁμαρτάνω, hamartanō) - to sin, to miss the mark - G50 (ἀγνοέω, agnoeō) - to be ignorant, not to know Usage: The Hebrew verb "shagag" primarily denotes the act of erring or going astray, often in the context of sinning unintentionally. It is used to describe actions that deviate from the path of righteousness due to ignorance or mistake, rather than deliberate rebellion against God's commandments. This term highlights the human propensity to fall short of divine standards, even without conscious intent. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, the concept of unintentional sin was significant, as it acknowledged human fallibility and the need for atonement even when sin was not committed willfully. The Mosaic Law provided specific sacrifices and rituals for atonement of such sins, emphasizing God's holiness and the importance of maintaining a right relationship with Him. This reflects a broader cultural understanding of sin as not only a matter of deliberate disobedience but also of human weakness and error.
