Berean Strong's Lexicon pesa: Transgression, rebellion, offense Original Word: פֶּשַׁע Word Origin: Derived from the root verb פָּשַׁע (pasha), meaning "to rebel" or "to transgress." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3847 (parabasis): Transgression, a stepping over or violation of law. - G458 (anomia): Lawlessness, iniquity, a state of being without law. Usage: The Hebrew word "pesa" primarily denotes a breach of relationship, either between individuals or between humanity and God, characterized by rebellion or willful disobedience. It is often translated as "transgression" and implies a deliberate act of defiance against divine law or covenant. In the Old Testament, "pesa" is frequently used to describe Israel's unfaithfulness to God, highlighting the gravity of sin as a conscious choice to deviate from God's commandments. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, maintaining a covenant relationship with God was central to communal and individual life. "Pesa" reflects a serious violation of this covenant, akin to treason against a sovereign. The concept of transgression was not merely legalistic but relational, emphasizing the personal and communal consequences of sin. The sacrificial system in the Old Testament provided a means for atonement and restoration of the broken relationship caused by "pesa."
