What does “AVAH” and “INIQUITY” mean, and who CARES?
Do you ever get confused by Christianese? Christianese is what some people call the words that only Christians seem to use.Â
Words like âsin, iniquity, transgressionâ… they sound like real old-timey weird words. But what do words like that mean in real life?Â
Even if we donât use those words in the way we talk every day, they come from the Bible so itâs important to understand them. Like âiniquityâ – it comes from the Hebrew word âavahâ that means âcrookedâ or âbentâ.
A curvy road might be an âavahâ road, or if an old man canât stand up straight anymore, his back might be âavahâ.
So what does it mean if something you do is âavahâ, and why is that wrong? Learn more about “avah” and iniquity from the BibleProject:
