How translations render this word
Counts come from each version’s own published word-to-Strong’s tagging or interlinear alignment — an approximate guide to how each version renders this word, not a word-level alignment the data otherwise carries. Because each total is that version’s own tagged count, the per-version totals vary from one another and need not match the appearance or distinct-verse counts above. These counts may also differ from a printed concordance because Lemma counts each distinctly tagged rendering and does not collapse phrase taggings into a single head-word total. This is a fixed set of word-tagged versions (KJV, ASV, BSB, ULT) and does not change with the reading translation you choose elsewhere. Each version’s license is shown beside its name below (and on Sources).
BDB lists this Strong’s number as 2 distinct words (homographs). Each count above pools all of them and is not split by sense — see the Senses section below. A low-frequency rendering may belong to a different one of those words, not the primary meaning.

- 4. sin-offering: one of the kinds of offering of P, Lv 7:37; first in the history 2 K 12:17 (reign of Jehoash), where חטּאת of money given to priests; elsewhere only in Chr.; 2 Ch 29:21, 23, 24 Hezekiah had made a ח׳ of 7 צְפִירֵי עִזִּים at purification of temple; Ezr 8:35; 12 צְפִירֵי ח׳ were offered; Ne 10:34 ח׳ ‖ עולות;—in these no evidence of special ritual. Sin-offering elsewhere only in codes of H Ez and P.—On Ho 4:8 v. 1 supr. In H, Lv 23:19 a שׂעיר עזים, for feast of weeks. In Ez ח׳ in gen. ‖ other sacrifices, Ez 40:39; 45:17, 25; 46:20; and priests eat them Ez 42:13; 44:29. At dedication of altar, the blood of a young bullock was to be applied to horns of altar, the corners of its settle and its border, the bullock itself burnt without the sanctuary; for each of the 7 days following a שׂעיר עזים was to be offered Ez 43:19, 21, 22, 25. On first day of first month a young bullock was to be offered to cleanse the sanctuary: its blood upt on the door posts of the house and of the gate of the inner court and on the four corners of the settle of the altar; also on the seventh day (𝔊 first day of seventh month) Ez 45:17, 19 (cf. v 18, 20). On 14th day of first month the prince was to offer a bullock for himself and the people and on each of the 7 days of the Passover week a שׂעיר עזים Ez 45:22, 23. When a priest entered the sanctuary to minister after his cleansing he was to offer his sin-offering Ez 44:27. P gives several grades: e.g. Leviticus 7:37
- a. a ruler should offer a he-goat Lv 4:24, 25 Nu 7:16, 22, 28, 34, 40, 46, 52, 58, 64, 70, 76, 82, 87; an ordinary person a she-goat Lv 4:29 (cf. v 28) 5:6 Nu 15:27, ewe lamb Lv 4:32, 33(×2), 34; 14:19 Nu 6:14, 16, a turtle dove or young pigeon Lv 5:7, 8, 9(×2); 12:6, 8; 14:22, 31; 15:15, 30 Nu 6:11, or one-tenth of an ephah of fine flour Lv 5:11(×2), 12; according to ability of the person, and nature of offence. The victim was brought unto the tent of meeting, the hands of the offerer laid on its head, it was slaughtered by the offerer, the priest took some of the blood and put it on horns of altar of burnt-offering and the rest of the blood he poured out at the base of it, to cover over the sin, or cleanse the altar from the sin defiling it. All the fat pieces (cf. Lv 4:22–35) and a handful of the flour (cf. Lv 5:12) were burned on altar. The rest of the flesh and the flour were eaten by priests in court of Holy place Lv 5:13; 6:10, 18(×2), 23 (cf. v 11, 19), 7:7; 10:16, 17, 19(×2); 14:13 Nu 18:9. e.g. Leviticus 4:24
- b. a bullock was offered for priests Ex 29:14, 36 Lv 4:3, 8, 20; 8:2, 14(×2); 9:2, 7, 8, 10; for Levites at their installation Nu 8:3, 12 and for whole congregation Lv 4:14, 21; but usually offering for congregation was he-goat Nu 15:24, 25, especially at dedication of altar Lv 9:3, 15, 22, and in ritual of feasts Nu 28:15, 22, 30; 29:5, 11, 16, 19, 22, 25, 28, 31, 34, 38. Before consecr. of tabernacle the blood went to altar of burnt-offering (Lv 9:9), but subsequ. some of it was sprinkled seven times before the vail and some of it put on horns of altar of incense to cleanse this higher altar; the fat pieces were burned on altar of burnt-offering, and the rest of the victim burned without the camp (Lv 4:3–21; 6:23; 8:16, 17; 9:10, 11). e.g. Exodus 29:14
- c. on day of atonement, sin-offering for high priest was a bullock Lv 16:3, 6; and for congregation two he-goats, one לַעֲזָאזֵל (v. עזאזל) Lv 16:5 (cf. v 8, 10, 20–22), the other for sacrifice ליהוה Lv 16:9 (cf. v 8). Some of the blood of Aaron’s bullock was first taken into innermost sanctuary and sprinkled on the כפרת and seven times before it; so also blood of the he-goat Lv 16:11(×2), 15 (cf. v 12–14, 16, 17) to cleanse highest altar: then the blood of the two victims was applied to lower altars as in a and b and so sin was covered over at the three altars Ex 30:10 (cf. Lv 16:16–19). The fat pieces went to altar of burnt-offering and the rest of the victims was burnt without the camp Lv 16:25, 27(×2). (Sins which might be covered over were limited to those committed בשׁגגה Lv 4:2, 22, 27 Nu 15:27, לשׁגגה Nu 15:24, minor offences Lv 5:1–6; and ceremonial uncleanness Lv 12:6, 8; 14:13; 15:15 Nu 6:11, 14.)—Phrases for sacrificing are: עשׂה ח׳ Lv 9:7, 22 14:19 Nu 6:16 Ez 45:17, הקריב ח׳ Lv 10:19 Ez 44:27, שׁחט ח׳ Lv 14:13 Ez 40:39. e.g. Leviticus 16:3
- 5. purification from sins of ceremonial uncleanness, all P: מֵי ח׳ Nu 8:7 water of purification from sin; מֵי נִדָּה ח׳ הוּא water of (cleansing from) impurity, it is a purification from sin Nu 19:9; עֲפַר שְׂרֵפַת הח׳ Nu 19:17 ashes of the burning of the purification from sin (RV renders sin-offering; but there was no offering made, only water of purification was used). e.g. Numbers 8:7

Jastrow Dictionary
A second Hebrew/Aramaic lexicon for comparison, covering Aramaic and post-biblical (Talmudic, Targumic, Midrashic) usage that the biblical-Hebrew BDB does not. Matched by lemma rather than by Strong’s number, so a lemma may carry more than one Jastrow headword (shown separately below), and the entries cover usage well beyond the Bible.
חֲטָאָה
- (חֲטָא)
- 1. sinner. Ber. 60ᵃ ח׳ את art thou a sinner?—Pl. חַטָּאַיָּא, חַטָּאִין, חַטָּאֵי, חַטָ׳, חַטַּיָּיה, חַטַּיָּא. Targ. Prov. I, 10. Targ. Ps. CIV, 35.—Gen. R. s. 12; Yalk. ib. 19. Pesik. Naḥ. p. 128ᵇ; Yalk. Ex. 391; a. e.

Forms in the corpus
The 172 distinct written forms H2403 takes in the Hebrew Bible, most frequent first — each parse links to that state’s occurrences in the concordance. Hebrew forms include their vowel points and cantillation, so a single lemma takes many written forms.
The 60 most common forms are shown; 112 rarer forms follow in the full concordance.
Same root — word family
Other BDB entries built from the same root as H2403, grouped by Strong’s listed origin. These share a root / origin per the lexicon — not necessarily a shared meaning. Each links to that word’s own entry.

Septuagint verse parallels
This word appears in 255 verses that also exist in the Greek Old Testament (Septuagint), out of the 270 Hebrew verses it occurs in. You can read those verses in Greek by switching the Old Testament edition to the Septuagint.

- Exodus 10:17
- Leviticus 4:3
- Numbers 5:6

- 1 Samuel 2:17
- 2 Samuel 12:13

- Ezra 8:35
This is a verse-level parallel only — the same verses exist in both the Hebrew and Greek Old Testaments. No word-level Hebrew↔Greek correspondence is claimed: the data carries no such alignment, so no Greek word is shown as this Hebrew word’s translation. Coverage is not total — the Septuagint omits the deuterocanon and renumbers the Psalms, so some Hebrew verses have no direct Greek parallel.
