This noun appears in Job 19:4: "And even if it be true that I have erred, my error remains with myself." Job responds to his friends' accusations by hypothetically granting their premise: even if he has erred, his mistake is his own business and doesn't justify their harsh judgment. The term emphasizes personal responsibility but also privacy of conscience—Job's potential errors don't give others license to condemn. Some manuscripts suggest reading "my wandering" (meshugati) instead, but the sense remains: Job insists on autonomy even in admitting the possibility of fault. This reflects his larger argument: relationship with God is direct and personal, not mediated by friends' theological formulas.
