his missing-of-the-mark

Rootחטא (ḥ-ṭ-ʾ)
Core Meaningsto miss, to go wrong, to err, to sin, to incur guilt
Semantic Rangesin, offense, fault, guilt, culpable error, the consequence or penalty of wrongdoing
Conceptual Significanceחֵטְא expresses moral failure as deviation from a standard, often understood as YHWH’s revealed will. It conveys both the act of wrongdoing and the state of guilt incurred, forming a foundational category in biblical theology of covenant breach, accountability, and the need for atonement.
Morphological NotesCommon masculine singular noun in construct form (חֶטְא) with a 3rd masculine singular pronominal suffix (־וֹ), yielding "his …". From the verbal root חטא in the Qal stem.
Rendering RationaleThe noun חֵטְא derives from the root חטא, whose core idea is "to miss" or "to miss the mark," and by extension to err or sin. Rendering it as "missing-of-the-mark" preserves the concrete root imagery while conveying moral failure. The 3rd masculine singular pronominal suffix is reflected in "his," and the singular noun form is maintained.
