b
Chata, "to sin," as in ch. 4.2,3, is departure from the right. First used Gen. 4.7. Asham, "guilty," vers. 2,3,4,5,17, is guilty as regards one we are responsible to -- here God of course.
c
See Matt. 26.63; Num. 5.21; 1 Kings 8.31; Prov. 29.24.
d
The word has the force of "because he is a witness," practically.
