missers

Rootחטא (ḥ-ṭ-ʾ)
Core Meaningsto miss, to err, to go astray, to incur guilt
Semantic Rangethose who miss the mark morally, offenders, guilty persons, habitual wrongdoers, those under guilt
Conceptual SignificanceIn biblical theology, חַטָּאִים identifies those who deviate from יהוה’s standard, not merely by legal infraction but by failing to align with covenantal instruction. The imagery of "missing" underscores sin as deviation from a divinely set target, highlighting both moral failure and covenant breach.
Morphological NotesMasculine plural absolute noun (intensive form from חטא). Pattern indicates a characteristic or habitual agent (one who misses/errs).
Rendering RationaleThe noun חַטָּא derives intensively from the root חטא, "to miss" or "to err," portraying one characterized by missing the mark. Rendering it as "missers" preserves the concrete root imagery rather than the abstract term "sinners," and the masculine plural absolute form is reflected in the simple plural English noun.
