chaṭṭâʼâh
and-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 H2403-55
and you missed the mark
| Morphological Notes | Qal sequential perfect (waw-consecutive + perfect), 2nd person masculine singular from חטא. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal sequential perfect 2ms form וְחָטָאת denotes a completed action by a masculine singular subject. Rendering it as "and you missed the mark" preserves the root imagery of חטא while reflecting the second masculine singular verbal form. |

and the sin
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
