Exegesis
The entreaty employs the Hiphil imperative haʿaver-na {הַֽעֲבֶר־נָא֙ | haʿaḇer-nāʼ} ‘cause to pass away, please’ to request removal of avon {עֲווֹן | ʿāwōn} ‘guilt’ from the speaker identified by avdecha {עַבְדְּךָ֔ | ʿăḇdəkhā}.
In context — 1 Chronicles 21:8
And David said to God , “I have sinned greatly by doing this thing. And now, please remove the guilt of Your servant, for I have acted very foolishly.”
