feminine noun

Root Word (Etymology)

From חָטָא (H2398)

The word for “his sin” is a feminine noun but the root word is a verb and is not gender specific.

I am no linguist so I do not understand how a verb  that is a feminine noun is rendered in the masculine tense.

When I asked the Lord He reminded me that the sin always lands on the head of the man, as it did for Adam and as it did for Christ.

Adam became the head of the wife in Genesis 3:16.

1 Corinthians 11:3 But I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, the head of a wife is her husband, and the head of Christ is God.

When it comes to sin, repentance and forgiveness we must leave the issue of gender out of it and listen to the head of the body.

Ephesians 5:23 For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior.

Husbands love their wives as Christ loves us. Our responsibility.

Answer Him

Micah 6:3 O my people, what have I done to you? How have I wearied you? Answer me!

The nature of man is to blame someone else.

Micah 6:8 He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?

Are we walking humbly with God or are we whining and complaining about everything?

I include myself in this indictment of man.
