Gesenius' Hebrew and Chaldee Definition

אָכַף

(1)  to put a load on (a beast of burden), prop. apparently to bend, to make to bow down under a load, kindred to the root כָּפַף, which see. Arab. أَكَفَ II. to tie, to bind on a pack saddle, IV. to put on a pack saddle. In the verb this signification does not occur, but in the noun אֶכֶף; whence

(2) to urge to work, to impel on, like the Syr. ܐܶܟܰܦ. In the Old Testament only found Proverbs 16:26, בִּי אָכַף עָלָיו פִּיהוּ “for his mouth urgeth him on,” i.e. hunger impels him to work. Its being construed with עַל, must be explained from its primary signification of laying on a burden.
