Aramaic Definition For "Sin"

Does it mean "our debt" or does it mean "our offences" (as in your translation) or either or both?

Good morning Akhan Otto,

In the Semitic "psyche" sins are thought of as "debts" that need to be either repaid, or "forgiven/forgotten." The word used for "forgiven/forgotten" in the Lords Prayer is the same word used in the last words on the Cross.

In the Lord's Prayer you can substitute (sins/offenses/debts) - any will work. Just depends on how close to the original Semitic you want to be.
