his missings
| Root | חטא (ḥ-ṭ-ʾ) |
| Core Meanings | to miss, to miss the mark, to err, to go wrong, to incur guilt |
| Semantic Range | sin, offense, guilt, fault, error, the consequence or penalty of wrongdoing |
| Conceptual Significance | The term frames sin not merely as rule-breaking but as "missing" the intended mark of covenant faithfulness. It highlights moral deviation from YHWH’s standard and underscores both personal culpability and the relational breach between the sinner and Elohim. |
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine plural noun in construct (חֲטָאֵי) with 3ms pronominal suffix (־ו), literally "missings of him." Occurs once in this form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun חֵטְא derives from the verb חטא, "to miss" or "to miss the mark," and denotes acts of missing, wrongdoing, or guilt. The form is masculine plural in construct with a 3rd masculine singular suffix, hence "his missings," preserving both the plural sense and the possessive "his." |
