SIBI-P1 H2398-14
the one missing the mark
| Root | חטא (ḥ-ṭ-ʾ) |
| Core Meanings | to miss, to miss the mark, to fail, to err, to sin |
| Semantic Range | to miss a target, to fail, to err, to commit an offense, to incur guilt, to bear blame; in extended usage, to live in a state of moral failure before Elohim. |
| Conceptual Significance | חטא frames sin not merely as rule-breaking but as missing the intended mark or standard set by Elohim. The participial form emphasizes an identity or ongoing condition—one who lives in a state of moral failure—highlighting the relational and covenantal consequences of missing the divine standard. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb in Qal stem, active participle, masculine singular, absolute state (HVqrmsa). Functions substantivally to denote a person characterized by the action. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is a Qal active participle masculine singular absolute, describing an ongoing or characteristic action. "The one missing the mark" preserves the root sense of חטא as "to miss" while conveying the moral dimension of sin, and reflects the singular masculine participial form. |
