Strong's Lexicon asham: Guilt, guilt offering, trespass, offense Original Word: אָשָׁם Word Origin: From the root אָשַׁם (asham), which means to be guilty or to offend. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G266 (ἁμαρτία, hamartia) - sin - G1345 (δικαίωμα, dikaiōma) - ordinance, righteous act Usage: The Hebrew word "asham" primarily refers to a state of guilt or the condition of having committed an offense. It is often used in the context of a guilt offering, a specific type of sacrifice prescribed in the Mosaic Law to atone for certain sins or trespasses. The concept of "asham" encompasses both the feeling of guilt and the legal or ritualistic response to it, emphasizing the need for atonement and reconciliation with God. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, the concept of guilt was not only a personal or psychological state but also a communal and covenantal issue. The guilt offering (Leviticus 5:14-19) was a crucial part of the sacrificial system, designed to restore the relationship between the offender and God, as well as between the offender and the community. This offering was required for unintentional sins that involved desecration of holy things or breaches of trust. The ritual underscored the holiness of God and the seriousness of sin, highlighting the need for repentance and restitution.

Brown-Driver-Briggs אָשָׁם noun masculine offence, guilt — ׳א Genesis 26:10 37t., suffix אֲשָׁמוֺ Numbers 5:7 7t.; — 1 offence, trespass, fault Psalm 68:22 (guiltiness RV). 2 guilt Genesis 26:10 (J) Proverbs 14:9; Jeremiah 51:5. 3 compensation, לְהָשִׁיב הָאָשָׁם אֵלָיו to whom to return the compensation (or satisfaction for injury) Numbers 5:7,8 (P; restitution for guilt RV). 4 trespass-offering (AV, but guilt-offering RV) used only in Leviticus 5; Leviticus 6:10; Leviticus 7:1; Leviticus 14:1; Leviticus 19:21,22; Numbers 5:1; Numbers 6:12; Numbers 18:9 (P), & Ezekiel 40:39; Ezekiel 42:13; Ezekiel 44:29; Ezekiel 46:20, compare Ezra 10:19. This offering seems to have been confined to offences against God or man that could be estimated and so covered by compensation. The ordinary trespass-offering was a ram, together with restitution and a penalty of a fifth of its value. The trespass-offerings of the leper and Nazirite were he-lambs Leviticus 14 Numbers 6:12; if the person who suffered wrong or his kinsmen were not living the fine went to the priests. The victims were offered, the blood and fat pieces going to the altar, the skin and flesh to the priests. There seems to have been no application of the blood to the horns of the altar (the chief ceremony of the sin-offering) because the guilt was not expiated at the altar but by compensation to the wronged person or his representative. A part of the blood of the leper's trespass-offering was applied to his person to consecrate him (as in the case of the ram of consecration to consecrate the priests Leviticus 8:23). The trespass-offering is unknown to J E D and the older Hebrew literature. However, the Philistines send an אשׁם of golden mice and tumours 1 Samuel 6:3,4,8,17, and an אשׁם of money was given to the priests 2 Kings 12:17, but these are entirely different from the trespass-offering of P. The Messianic servant offers himself as an אשׁם in compensation for the sins of the people, interposing for them as their substitute Isaiah 53:10 (incorrectly, sin-offering AV RV).
