חַטֹּאתָ֑/ם
𐤇𐤈𐤀𐤕/𐤌
chaṭṭâʼâh
their 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.

Common Translation
| Phrase | their sins |
SIBI-P1 Translation H2403-18
their wrongdoings
| Morphological Notes | Feminine plural common noun in construct state + 3rd person masculine plural pronominal suffix ("their"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the root meaning "to miss the mark" or "to sin," and in the feminine plural construct with a 3rd masculine plural suffix it denotes multiple acts or conditions of offense belonging to them. "Their wrongdoings" preserves both the plurality and the possessive suffix while reflecting the root’s moral sense of failure or transgression. |
