Usage: The term חֲטִי is used in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament to denote an act of sin or transgression against divine law.

Context: The term חֲטִי appears in the Aramaic sections of the Old Testament, specifically in the books of Daniel and Ezra. It is used to describe acts that are considered offenses against God or His commandments. In the context of the Old Testament, sin is often seen as a deviation from the path of righteousness and a failure to meet the standards set by God. The concept of sin in the Hebrew Bible encompasses both intentional and unintentional acts that separate individuals from God. חֲטִי, as an Aramaic term, reflects the broader Semitic understanding of sin as a moral and spiritual failing that requires atonement and repentance.

In the Berean Standard Bible, the term is translated in a way that conveys the gravity of the offense and the need for reconciliation with God. The use of חֲטִי in the Aramaic texts underscores the universality of the concept of sin across different languages and cultures within the biblical narrative.
