וְ/חִטֵּאתָ֙
𐤅/𐤇𐤈𐤀𐤕
châṭâʼ
and-you-shall-purify
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 H2398-53
and you will purge-from-offense
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Piel stem (intensive/factitive), sequential perfect with prefixed conjunction, 2nd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Piel stem of חטא often carries an intensive or factitive sense, meaning to remove or purge offense rather than to commit it. The 2nd masculine singular sequential perfect is reflected in "and you will," preserving both stem force and morphology. |
