Transgression The idea of transgression, or crossing over the boundary of right and entering the forbidden l and of wrong, is marked by the use of the word Avar (עבר), to cross over (compare the Assyrian ebiru, 'to cross'). The word is rendered transgress in eighteen passages, e.g. Psalms 17:3, Hosea 6:7, Hosea 8:1 .
