חַטֹּ֜את
𐤇𐤈𐤀𐤕
chaṭṭâʼâh
the sins
A failure to meet a standard, wrongdoing, or offense, most commonly referring to a transgression against divine instruction (an act of 'missing the mark'). In biblical usage, חַטָּאָה encompasses the concept of 'sin' both as a concrete act and as a state/condition and can also refer to ritual acts associated with dealing with those offenses—particularly the 'sin offering' prescribed in priestly texts. The word is thus used both for the moral/ethical failure itself and for the ritual procedure to address it.
