# iniquity

noun

«iniquity» in the English dictionary: in Jewish tradition — its meanings, how the lessons use it, and examples, each with its tree on Mova.

## In Jewish tradition

It means sin or the guilt and punishment that come from sin. To "bear iniquity" means to carry the blame.

**Interpretation.** Tradition teaches that a person's sin brings responsibility, but also that God is patient, as in the Amorites' iniquity not yet being full.
