Berean Strong's Lexicon averah: Transgression, sin, offense Original Word: עֲבֵרָה Word Origin: Derived from the root עָבַר (avar), meaning "to pass over" or "to transgress." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint and the New Testament for "transgression" is παράπτωμα (paraptoma), Strong's Greek #3900, which also conveys the idea of a lapse or deviation from truth and uprightness. Usage: In the Hebrew Bible, "averah" refers to an act of transgression or sin, often implying a violation of God's commandments or moral law. It is used to describe actions that go against the divine will, highlighting the moral and ethical breach between humanity and God. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, adherence to the Torah and God's commandments was central to religious and communal life. Transgressions, or "averot" (plural), were seen as serious offenses that disrupted the covenant relationship between God and His people. The concept of sin and transgression was not only a personal failing but also had communal implications, affecting the entire community's standing before God. Rituals and sacrifices were often prescribed to atone for such transgressions, emphasizing the need for repentance and restoration. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originby transp. for urvah, q.v.
