תְּחַטְּאֵ֣/נִי
𐤕𐤇𐤈𐤀/𐤍𐤉
châṭâʼ
purge me
To miss a goal or mark (literal or metaphorical); by extension, to err, to commit an offense, particularly an offense against divine or moral standard. In the Hebrew Bible, the verb is predominantly used in contexts of failing to meet obligations, especially those established by covenant, and thus is most often rendered as 'to sin.' The word also appears in contexts of unintentional error, moral or ritual failure, and occasionally of incurring guilt or forfeiting a right. In specific forms, can indicate causing another to err, or bearing the consequence of error or offense.

SIBI-P1 Translation H2398-33
you must purge me from offense
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Piel imperfect, 2nd person masculine singular with 1st person common singular suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Piel stem gives an intensive or factitive nuance; with this root it can denote purging or removing offense. The imperfect 2ms with 1cs suffix yields "you (masculine singular) will/shall [do this to] me," hence "you must purge me from offense." |
