עָצַב
(1) to labour, to form, to fashion, see Piel No. 1. (The original idea is perhaps that of cutting, whether wood or stones, compare חָצַב, חָטַב. There are in the cognate languages secondary significations, as Arabic غضب to be angry.) Hence עָצָב and עֹצֶב a carved image, עֶצֶב an earthen vessel.
(2) to toil with pain, to suffer, to be grieved (see עֶצֶב, עֹצֶב, עַצֶּבֶת, עִצָּבוֹן ); used also of the mind, and in Kal trans. to put in pain, to afflict, 1 Kings 1:6; 1 Chronicles 4:10; Isaiah 54:6.

(2) to put to grief, to afflict (comp. Kal No. 2), Isaiah 63:10; Psalms 56:6.
