she will miss the mark

Rootחטא (ḥ-ṭ-ʾ)
Core Meaningsmissing a mark, failing, sinning, incurring guilt, forfeiting
Semantic Rangeto miss a target, to fail, to sin morally, to incur guilt, to forfeit, to bear blame
Conceptual SignificanceIn biblical theology, sin is fundamentally portrayed as missing the mark of covenant faithfulness and divine instruction. The verb highlights personal responsibility before יהוה, emphasizing deviation from the intended path rather than merely legal transgression.
Morphological NotesQal imperfect (yiqtol) 3rd feminine singular from חָטָא; simple active stem indicating the subject (she) performs the action.
Rendering RationaleThe Qal imperfect 3rd feminine singular form expresses a simple active action performed by a feminine singular subject. Rendering it as "she will miss the mark" preserves the concrete root sense of חטא (to miss) while reflecting the future/imperfect aspect and feminine singular grammar.
