his guilt-offering
| Root | אשם (ʾ-š-m) |
| Core Meanings | guilt, culpability, offense, liability requiring restitution |
| Semantic Range | guilt, culpability, trespass, liability, compensation, guilt-offering (reparation offering) |
| Conceptual Significance | אָשָׁם expresses both the state of incurred guilt and the prescribed means of restitution before יהוה. It highlights the covenantal principle that wrongdoing creates real liability requiring acknowledgment, restitution, and sacrificial atonement. |
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular noun in construct form (אָשָׁם) with 3ms pronominal suffix (-וֹ), yielding "his guilt" or "his guilt-offering." |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun אָשָׁם denotes guilt or the reparation required for guilt; in cultic contexts it refers to the specific offering that addresses liability. The form is masculine singular construct with a 3rd masculine singular pronominal suffix, correctly rendered as the singular "his" guilt-offering. |
