Strong's Lexicon asham: To be guilty, to offend, to trespass Original Word: אָשַׁם Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G266 (ἁμαρτία, hamartia) - sin - G3900 (παράπτωμα, paraptoma) - trespass, offense Usage: The Hebrew verb "asham" primarily conveys the idea of being guilty or committing an offense. It is often used in the context of moral or legal transgressions, indicating a breach of divine or societal laws. The term can also imply the feeling of guilt or the acknowledgment of wrongdoing. In the sacrificial system of ancient Israel, "asham" is associated with the guilt offering, a specific type of sacrifice made to atone for certain sins and to restore the relationship between the offender and God. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, the concept of guilt was not only a personal or internal feeling but also had communal and legal implications. The sacrificial system, as outlined in the Torah, provided a means for individuals to atone for their sins and restore their standing within the community and before God. The guilt offering, or "asham," was a crucial part of this system, emphasizing the need for repentance and restitution. This reflects the broader Ancient Near Eastern understanding of justice and reconciliation, where offenses disrupted the social and divine order and required specific actions to rectify.
