חַטָּא

Genesis 13:13 וְחַטָּאִ֑ים and sinful

But the men of Sodom were wicked, sinning greatly against the LORD.

Here: A noun pattern Hebrew uses for habitual or characteristic doers (like 'judge' or 'cook'). Not 'people who once sinned' but people whose way of life is offending: 'confirmed offenders'.

Numbers 16:38 הַֽחַטָּאִ֨ים the sinners

As for the censers of those who sinned at the cost of their own lives, hammer them into sheets to overlay the altar, for these were presented before the LORD, and so have become holy. They will serve as a sign to the Israelites.”

Numbers 32:14 חַטָּאִ֑ים sinful

Now behold, you, a brood of sinners, have risen up in place of your fathers to further stoke the burning anger of the LORD against Israel.

Here: "Sinners, sinful." This is a strong label for people marked by offence against God, the same word used of Korah's rebels (Num 16:38) and the men of Sodom (Gen 13:13). It classes them as offenders rather than people who slipped once.

1 Samuel 15:18 הַֽחַטָּאִים֙ the sinners

and sent you on a mission, saying, ‘Go and devote to destruction the sinful Amalekites. Fight against them until you have wiped them out.’

1 Kings 1:21 חַטָּאִֽים׃ sinners

Otherwise, when my lord the king rests with his fathers, I and my son Solomon will be counted as criminals.”

Psalm 1:1 חַ֭טָּאִים sinners

Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, or set foot on the path of sinners, or sit in the seat of mockers.

Here: 'Sinners'. The form of the word marks a habitual or characteristic doer, like a trade name, so these are people whose way of life is wrongdoing. It is not a label for everyone who has ever done wrong.

Psalm 1:5 וְ֝חַטָּאִ֗ים and sinners

Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

Here: "And sinners". The word form describes people whose habit and identity is sinning, not people who sometimes slip. It parallels "wicked" and repeats "the way of sinners" from verse 1.

Psalm 25:8 חַטָּאִ֣ים sinners

Good and upright is the LORD; therefore He shows sinners the way.

Here: A word for people marked by wrongdoing, not someone who slipped once. In the Psalms it usually names the group set against the righteous (Ps 1:1, 5). The surprise is that these are the people God instructs. The psalmist counts himself among them (vv. 7, 11).

Psalm 26:9 חַטָּאִ֣ים sinners

Do not take my soul away with sinners, or my life with men of bloodshed,

Here: The word's form describes a habit or trade: people whose lives are marked by doing wrong, the openly wicked. It is not 'anyone who has ever sinned'. In this psalm they are the 'worthless men', 'hypocrites' and 'evildoers' of verses 4–5.

Psalm 51:13 וְ֝חַטָּאִ֗ים and sinners

Then I will teach transgressors Your ways, and sinners will return to You.

Here: 'And sinners': people habitually marked by sin (from the root for missing a mark or failing in an obligation). It pairs with 'rebels' as a near-synonym, and its root matches 'my sin' (ḥaṭṭāʾtî) in vv. 2–3.

Psalm 104:35 חַטָּאִ֨ים׀ sinners

May sinners vanish from the earth and the wicked be no more. Bless the LORD, O my soul. Hallelujah!

Here: A word-form that describes a settled character: people who habitually do wrong, the 'offenders' as a class, not everyone who has ever slipped.

Proverbs 1:10 חַ֝טָּאִ֗ים sinners

My son, if sinners entice you, do not yield to them.

Here: A noun pattern for someone who habitually does something: 'habitual offenders', people whose way of life is wrongdoing. Verses 11–19 show who they are: a gang that ambushes people for blood and loot. It is not a general word for every human being.

Proverbs 13:21 חַ֭טָּאִים sinners

Disaster pursues sinners, but prosperity is the reward of the righteous.

Here: People whose way of life is wrongdoing, the usual opposite of 'the righteous' in Proverbs. It comes first in the Hebrew for emphasis: 'Sinners: harm hunts them down.' It is grammatically the object of the verb, not its subject.

Proverbs 23:17 בַּֽחַטָּאִ֑ים <in> sinners

Do not let your heart envy sinners, but always continue in the fear of the LORD.

Here: 'At the sinners'. The noun form is used for someone who does a thing as a habit or way of life, so it means people whose whole manner of living goes against God's order, like the violent gang in Proverbs 1:10–19. They are not simply 'people who have done wrong'. The article ('the sinners') marks them as a known type.

Isaiah 1:28 וְחַטָּאִ֖ים and sinners

But rebels and sinners will together be shattered, and those who forsake the LORD will perish.

Here: A word built to describe a type of person, 'habitual offenders', not people who slipped once. It is paired with 'rebels' so that the two cover the guilty group from two sides: those who revolt and those who keep doing wrong.

Isaiah 13:9 וְחַטָּאֶ֖יהָ and sinners its

Behold, the Day of the LORD is coming—cruel, with fury and burning anger—to make the earth a desolation and to destroy the sinners within it.

Here: 'And its sinners', literally 'her sinners', the sinners who belong to the land. This form of the word describes people marked by habitual wrongdoing (compare the men of Sodom in Genesis 13:13). It points to the guilty in particular. It does not mean 'everyone, since all are sinners.'

Isaiah 33:14 חַטָּאִ֔ים sinners

The sinners in Zion are afraid; trembling grips the ungodly: “Who of us can dwell with a consuming fire? Who of us can dwell with everlasting flames?”

Here: People who habitually miss the mark of covenant faithfulness. Here they are Judeans, citizens of Zion, not outsiders.

Amos 9:8 הַֽחַטָּאָ֔ה <the> sinful

Surely the eyes of the Lord GOD are on the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from the face of the earth. Yet I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob,” declares the LORD.

Here: An adjective, "the sinful (one)," describing the kingdom. It names the state as one that has missed the mark of what God required: in Amos, crushing the poor, corrupt courts, and worship that went along with injustice.

Amos 9:10 חַטָּאֵ֣י [the] sinners of

All the sinners among My people will die by the sword—all those who say, ‘Disaster will never draw near or confront us.’”

Here: This noun form names people by their habitual behaviour: offenders, wrongdoers as a settled character. It does not mean everyone who has ever done wrong. In Amos the content is concrete: oppressing the poor, corrupt courts, and worship that sits alongside injustice.
