SIBI-P1 H2403-37
for a sin-offering
| Root | חטא (ḥ-ṭ-ʾ) |
| Core Meanings | to miss the mark, to err, to sin, to incur guilt |
| Semantic Range | sin, guilt, offense; punishment for sin; sin-offering; purification offering; occasionally the sinner (by metonymy). |
| Conceptual Significance | חַטָּאת expresses both the act of missing YHWH’s mark and the divinely appointed means of restoration. As a sin-offering, it embodies the covenantal provision for cleansing and reconciliation, highlighting the seriousness of moral failure and the grace of atonement within Israel’s worship system. |
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common feminine singular absolute (Ncfsa) with prefixed preposition לְ (“for/to”). The form חַטָּאת is a feminine noun derived from the verbal root חטא. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun חַטָּאת derives from the root חטא (“to miss the mark, to sin”) and denotes either sin itself or the offering that addresses it. Here, with the prefixed לְ (“for/to”) and feminine singular absolute form, the phrase means “for a sin-offering,” preserving the singular feminine noun and the purpose indicated by the preposition. |
