ZoreaYahu
Verse of the Day

Wayiqra 4:27–31 (Leviticus)

And if one Naphash from the people of the land Khata unintentionally by ʿAsah one of the Mitswuth of Yahuah that must not be done, and becomes Asham, or his Khata that he committed becomes known to him, then he shall bring his offering, a female goat without defect, for his Khata that he committed. And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the Khata-offering and slaughter the Khata-offering at the place of the ascending offering. And the Kahan shall take some of its Dam with his finger and place it upon the horns of the altar of ascending offering, and pour the rest of its Dam at the base of the altar. And he shall remove all its fat as the fat was removed from the Shalum-offering, and the Kahan shall cause it to ascend upon the altar as a pleasing aroma to Yahuah. The Kahan shall Kaphar for him, and it shall be forgiven him.

Question answered: One of the clearest Scroll definitions of Khata? Khata is committed when a person does what Yahuah commanded must not be done. Also proves Khata and Asham are not the same word: a person Khata, then becomes Asham (liable).
