châṭâʼ
who make sin
To miss a goal or mark (literal or metaphorical); by extension, to err, to commit an offense, particularly an offense against divine or moral standard. In the Hebrew Bible, the verb is predominantly used in contexts of failing to meet obligations, especially those established by covenant, and thus is most often rendered as 'to sin.' The word also appears in contexts of unintentional error, moral or ritual failure, and occasionally of incurring guilt or forfeiting a right. In specific forms, can indicate causing another to err, or bearing the consequence of error or offense.

SIBI-P1 Translation H2398-29
those causing to err
| Morphological Notes | Hiphil (causative) active participle, masculine plural, construct form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem gives a causative sense ('to cause to err/offend'), and the masculine plural active participle denotes 'those who are causing.' The rendering preserves the root idea of missing or erring while reflecting the causative morphology. |
