Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the root verb שָׁגָה (shagah), which means "to go astray" or "to err."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • The corresponding Greek term in the New Testament is παραπτωμα (paraptoma), Strong's Greek Number G3900. This term is often translated as "trespass" or "offense" and similarly refers to a lapse or deviation from truth and uprightness, whether intentional or unintentional. The New Testament emphasizes forgiveness and restoration for those who have committed such offenses, reflecting the continuity of this theme from the Old Testament to the New Testament.

Usage: The term שְׁגִיאָה is used in the context of moral or ethical errors, often referring to unintentional sins or mistakes made due to human fallibility.

Context: • The Hebrew term שְׁגִיאָה (shegi'ah) is used to describe an unintentional sin or moral mistake. It is derived from the root שָׁגָה (shagah), which conveys the idea of straying or erring. This concept is significant in the Hebrew Bible, where the distinction between intentional and unintentional sins is important for understanding the nature of sin and the requirements for atonement.
• In the Old Testament, unintentional sins were often addressed through specific sacrificial offerings, as outlined in the Levitical laws. The recognition of human fallibility and the provision for atonement highlight the merciful nature of God, who provides a means for reconciliation even for those who sin unknowingly.
• The term שְׁגִיאָה is not frequently used in the Hebrew Bible, but its conceptual significance is underscored by the broader biblical narrative that emphasizes the need for repentance and forgiveness. The acknowledgment of unintentional sins serves as a reminder of the pervasive nature of sin and the need for divine grace.
