Chapter 1 is titled \u201cThe Essence of Sin\u201d.\u00a0 This chapter is divided into seven sections.\u00a0 The first section is \u201cThe Vocabulary of Scripture\u201d.<\/p>\n
I summarize the text (pages 1-3).<\/p>\n
The Hebrew word for \u201csinning\u201d literally means \u201cto miss\u201d as in \u201cto miss the mark\u201d.\u00a0 Who sets the mark?\u00a0 Answer:\u00a0 Not you, nor your friends, family, tribe, nation \u2026 only God does.<\/p>\n
\u201cMissing the mark\u201d implies rebellion or offense against Yahweh (on the outside) and inner injustice or guilt (on the inside).<\/p>\n
The words, \u201canon\u201d and \u201cpesa\u201d, flesh out these implications.\u00a0 \u201cAnon\u201d points to \u201csomething amiss or twisted\u201d, like guilt or iniquity, that ought to be carried away and expiated.\u00a0 \u201cPesa\u201d indicates an attitude of rebellion against God.<\/p>\n
These words were used in Exodus to describe the obstinacy, infidelity, and apostasy of the tribes of Israel.\u00a0 The prophets also used the word \u201cpesa\u201d to describe unfaithfulness and rebellion.<\/p>\n
Later writers mixed in the Hebrew words \u201cka\u2019as\u201d and \u201cna\u2019as\u201d. \u201cKa\u2019as\u201d describes Yahweh\u2019s jealous and provoked wrath.\u00a0 \u201cNa\u2019as\u201d is translated as \u201cscorn\u201d, \u201crevile\u201d, \u201cdisdain\u201d, \u201cspurn\u201d and \u201cembitter\u201d.\u00a0 \u201cNa\u2019as\u201d was translated into Latin as \u201coffendere<\/i>\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
