Strong's Lexicon shagah: To err, to go astray, to wander, to sin unintentionally Original Word: שָׁגָה Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4105 (πλανάω, planaō): To lead astray, to deceive, to wander - G264 (ἁμαρτάνω, hamartanō): To sin, to miss the mark Usage: The Hebrew verb "shagah" primarily conveys the idea of going astray or erring, often in a moral or spiritual sense. It is used to describe actions that deviate from the correct path, whether through ignorance, negligence, or unintentional sin. The term can also imply a lack of awareness or understanding, leading to mistakes or missteps. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, adherence to the Law was central to maintaining a covenant relationship with God. The concept of unintentional sin, as captured by "shagah," was significant because it acknowledged human fallibility and the need for atonement even when sin was not deliberate. The sacrificial system provided a means for atonement for such sins, emphasizing the importance of purity and holiness in the community.
