It is used to describe actions that deviate from the path of righteousness due to ignorance or mistake, rather than deliberate rebellion against God's commandments. This term highlights the human propensity to fall short of divine standards, even without conscious intent.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite society, the concept of unintentional sin was significant, as it acknowledged human fallibility and the need for atonement even when sin was not committed willfully. The Mosaic Law provided specific sacrifices and rituals for atonement of such sins, emphasizing God's holiness and the importance of maintaining a right relationship with Him. This reflects a broader cultural understanding of sin as not only a matter of deliberate disobedience but also of human weakness and error.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. root<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to go astray, commit sin or error<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>because he also (1), goes astray (1), misled (1), sinned (1), went astray (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> [<font class="hebrew2">שָׁגַג</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>go astray, commit sin or error</b></font> ("" <font class="hebrew2">שׁגה</font>, <font class="hebrew2">שׁוג</font>);
