The word Desert in Hebrew is "Midbar" מדבר that shares the same root as the verb "Ledaber" that means To speak. The Hebrew name of Book of Numbers is BAMIDBAR: it means "In the desert, he speaks". Who is speaking in the desert: The God of Israel.
He wants to take His people in the desert to speak to its heart: Hos. 2:14 "Therefore, I will now allure her, and bring her into the wilderness Midbar מדבר, and speak dibarti דיברתי tenderly to her."

The Rav, Apostle Shaul tells us that the Torah is what gives us the discernment concerning sin:
Romans 7:7 What shall we say then? Is the Torah sin? Certainly not! On the contrary, I would not have known sin except through the Torah. For I would not have known covetousness unless the Torah had said, “You shall not covet.”
Q: What is the definition of sin according to the Renewed Covenant?
1 John 3:4 Whoever commits sin also commits lawlessness anomia ἀνομία, and sin is lawlessnessanomia ἀνομία.
1 John 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law (Torah): for sin is the transgression of the law (Torah). (KJV)
The word “lawlessness anomia ἀνομία” means: The condition of someone without the Torah, lawlessness 1a) because he ignores it 1b) because he violates it 2) despise and violation of the Torah, iniquity, wickedness, injustice The word “law, Torah” in Greek is “nomos“ In other words: Anyone who sins violates the Torah (anomia without nomos), and sin is the violation of the Torah (anomia without nomos)
Sin is the transgression of the Torah!
Matthew 7:21-23 Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness anomia ἀνομία, you who transgress the Torah !
Q: Which weapon did the serpent use to make man fall?
The essence of the serpent is the transgression of G-d´s commands. There is nothing new under the sun; from the beginning of the Book of Genesis until the end of the Book of Revelation, his name is “serpent” and since that time has represented the lawless which in the Greek refers to “the one without Torah!”
2 Thessalonians 2:8 (Isaiah 11 :3-4) And then the lawless one a nomos ἀἄνομος will be revealed, whom the Lord Yeshua will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming.
a nomos ἄνομος. This word means: 1) discharged from the Torah (of Moses) 1a) The Gentiles, the heathens 2) One who breaches the law, breacher of the Torah, lawless, wicked one, the ungodly, without Torah, the one who practices iniquity. This “lawless”, this adversary is in direct opposition with the Word of G-d, the Word of Hashem. He voluntarily violates the Torah.
How will he be fought? 2 Thessalonians 2:8 And then the lawless one a nomos ἄνομος will be revealed, whom the Lord Yeshua will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming.
CLEARLY, SIN IS THE TRANSGRESSION OF HASHEM'S ETERNAL WORD.
