𐤅/𐤉𐤇𐤈𐤀𐤅
châṭâʼ
and they made sin offering
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.

they committed offense
| Morphological Notes | Verb; Piel stem (intensive/ factitive); sequential imperfect (wayyiqtol); 3rd person masculine plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Piel stem intensifies or factitively expresses the root idea of missing or offending, yielding an active sense of committing an offense. The 3rd person masculine plural sequential imperfect is reflected as "they committed," preserving person and number. |
