Berean Strong's Lexicon agnoéma: Error, sin of ignorance, mistake Original Word: ἀγνόημα Part of Speech: Noun, Neuter Transliteration: agnoéma Pronunciation: ag-no'-ay-mah Phonetic Spelling: (ag-no'-ay-mah) Definition: Error, sin of ignorance, mistake Meaning: an offence committed through ignorance, an error due to (willful or culpable) ignorance. Word Origin: Derived from ἀγνοέω (agnoeō), meaning "to be ignorant" or "to not know." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with sins of ignorance is שְׁגָגָה (shegagah), which refers to inadvertent sin or error, as seen in passages like Leviticus 4:2 and Numbers 15:24. Usage: The term "agnoéma" refers to an error or sin committed out of ignorance or lack of knowledge. In the New Testament context, it often implies a sin that is not willful or deliberate but rather stems from a lack of understanding or awareness of God's law or will. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Jewish tradition, the concept of sins committed in ignorance was recognized and addressed through specific sacrifices and offerings, as outlined in the Mosaic Law (e.g., Leviticus 4). This reflects an understanding that not all sins are committed with full knowledge or intent, and there is a provision for atonement for such unintentional transgressions. In the Greco-Roman world, ignorance was often seen as a lack of education or enlightenment, and the early Christian message sought to bring spiritual enlightenment to those who were "ignorant" of the truth of the Gospel.
