SIBI-P1 `H2399-08`

a misstep

Root	חטא (ḥ-ṭ-ʾ)
Core Meanings	to miss, to miss the mark, to err, to go wrong, to incur guilt
Semantic Range	sin, error, offense, guilt, wrongdoing, the consequence or penalty of wrongdoing
Conceptual Significance	חֵטְא expresses the foundational biblical concept of sin as deviation from the right path or target established by יהוה. It frames wrongdoing not merely as legal violation but as a failure to align with divine intention, shaping Israel’s understanding of moral accountability and the need for atonement.
Morphological Notes	Common masculine singular noun in the absolute state; from the verbal root חטא (Qal: to miss, to sin). No pronominal suffix or construct relation in this form.
Rendering Rationale	The noun derives from the root חטא, meaning "to miss" or "to err," preserving the imagery of missing a mark or going astray. The form is masculine singular absolute (HNcmsa), so the rendering reflects a single, concrete instance—"a misstep"—rather than an abstract or plural concept.
