Strong's Lexicon salach: To forgive, pardon Original Word: סָלַח Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G863 (ἀφίημι, aphiemi): To send away, forgive, permit - G5483 (χαρίζομαι, charizomai): To grant as a favor, forgive, pardon Usage: The Hebrew verb "salach" primarily means to forgive or pardon. It is used in the context of divine forgiveness, where God forgives the sins of individuals or the nation of Israel. This term is distinct in that it is almost exclusively used to describe God's forgiveness, highlighting the divine prerogative and grace in forgiving sins. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the concept of forgiveness was deeply tied to the covenant relationship between God and His people. The sacrificial system, as outlined in the Torah, provided a means for atonement and forgiveness, but it was ultimately God's willingness to forgive that restored the relationship. The use of "salach" underscores the merciful and compassionate nature of God, who desires reconciliation with His people despite their transgressions.
