Strong's Lexicon avon: Iniquity, guilt, punishment, sin Original Word: עָוֹן Word Origin: Derived from the root עָוָה (avah), meaning "to bend," "to twist," or "to distort." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G93 (adikia): Often translated as "unrighteousness" or "iniquity." - G458 (anomia): Translated as "lawlessness" or "iniquity." Usage: The Hebrew word "avon" primarily refers to iniquity or sin, emphasizing the moral distortion and perversion of God's law. It often conveys the idea of guilt and the consequences that arise from sinful actions. "Avon" can also imply the punishment or judgment that results from iniquity. It is used to describe both individual and collective sin, highlighting the inherent corruption and deviation from righteousness. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of "avon" was deeply tied to the covenant relationship between God and His people. The Israelites understood that iniquity was not just a personal failing but a breach of the covenant, affecting the entire community. The sacrificial system, as outlined in the Torah, provided a means for atonement and restoration of the relationship with God. The prophets frequently called the people to repentance, warning of the consequences of "avon" and urging a return to covenant faithfulness.
