חַטָּאתִ֔/י
𐤇𐤈𐤀𐤕/𐤉
chaṭṭâʼâh
my-sin
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.

SIBI-P1 Translation H2403-15
I have missed the mark
| Morphological Notes | Verb; Qal stem (simple active); perfect conjugation; 1st person common singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal perfect 1st common singular form expresses a completed action by the speaker. "Missed the mark" preserves the root sense of חטא while conveying the moral and covenantal dimension inherent in the verb. |
