The word "acquit" is a legal term that means to formally declare someone to not be guilty of an unlawful activity.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* This term is sometimes used in the Bible to talk about forgiving sinners.
|
||
|
|
* Often the context is about wrongly acquitting people who continue to rebel against God.

|
|
* This could be translated as, "declare innocent" or "judge to be not guilty."
