desolate; become desolate; become guilty; hold one's self guilty; offend;
trespass; destroy. The LXX translates asham by ten different Greek words:
agnoeo
to be ignorant;
hamartano
sin;
aphanizo
corrupt or disfigure;
metameleomai
repent;
miaino
defile;
mnesikakeo
to bear in mind evil received;
parapipto
fall away;
plemmeleia
behave unseemly.
In combination:
exolothreuo
destroy;
krino
judge.
The LXX, like the A.V., does not use one Greek word for one Hebrew
word, but allows a wide margin in translation. We must, therefore, to make
our understanding clearer and our ground work broader, see what other Hebrew
words beside asham the LXX renders by the various Greek words cited above:
