Strong's Lexicon chet: Sin, offense, fault Original Word: חֵטְא Word Origin: Derived from the root חָטָא (chata), meaning "to miss" or "to sin." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G266 (ἁμαρτία, hamartia) - sin - G264 (ἁμαρτάνω, hamartanō) - to sin Usage: The term "chet" primarily refers to an act of sin or transgression against divine law. It conveys the idea of missing the mark or failing to meet God's standards. In the Old Testament, "chet" is often used to describe moral and ethical failures, both individual and communal, that separate humans from God. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, sin was not merely a legal or moral failure but a breach in the covenant relationship with God. The concept of "chet" was deeply tied to the sacrificial system, where offerings were made to atone for sins and restore the relationship with God. The understanding of sin as "missing the mark" reflects the high standards of holiness and righteousness expected by God, as outlined in the Torah.
