of the guilt offering
A state of being guilty or liable for wrongdoing—particularly transgressions requiring restitution or atonement—and, by extension, a specific category of offering prescribed for such offenses. 'אָשָׁם' denotes both the abstract sense of guilt (culpability, liability) and the concrete ritual offering designated for certain unintentional or ambiguous sins and breaches of sacred trust or property laws. In priestly and legal texts, especially Leviticus, it refers to the prescribed sacrificial offering for these cases.
