Part of Speech: Noun Feminine
Transliteration: chattaya'

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint and the New Testament is ἁμαρτωλός (hamartōlos), Strong's Greek #268, which also means "sinner."

Usage: The term "chattaya" is used to denote an individual who commits sin or is characterized by sinful behavior. It emphasizes the state of being a sinner, often in a habitual or ongoing sense. In the Hebrew Bible, it is used to describe those who are morally or spiritually errant, often in contrast to the righteous.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, the concept of sin was deeply tied to the covenant relationship between God and His people. Sin was seen as a violation of God's laws and commands, which were given to guide the Israelites in living a life pleasing to God. The term "chattaya" would have been understood within this context as someone who consistently fails to live according to these divine standards. The sacrificial system, including offerings and rituals, was established to atone for sins and restore the relationship between the sinner and God.
