guilt-offering
| Root | אשם (ʾ-š-m) |
| Core Meanings | guilt, culpability, liability, offense, reparation |
| Semantic Range | guilt, culpability, state of liability, compensation, reparation payment, specific sacrificial offering for guilt (often translated "trespass offering") |
| Conceptual Significance | אָשָׁם expresses both the condition of objective guilt before YHWH and the prescribed means of restitution through sacrifice. It highlights the biblical linkage between wrongdoing, incurred liability, and the necessity of atonement and restoration within covenant relationship. |
| Morphological Notes | Primarily a masculine singular absolute noun (HNcmsa). The related verbal form (HVqp3ms) is Qal perfect 3ms, "he became guilty" or "he incurred guilt," showing the root’s verbal sense of bearing liability. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun אָשָׁם in the masculine singular absolute denotes that which pertains to incurred guilt; in sacrificial contexts it refers to the offering brought because of such guilt. "Guilt-offering" preserves the root idea of culpability (אשם) while reflecting the masculine singular noun form shown in the morphology. |
