It conveys the action of dividing or carving out, typically with a tool or instrument. This term can be used both literally, in the context of physical cutting, and metaphorically, in the sense of dividing or determining.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, the act of cutting or hewing was a common task, especially in the context of construction and craftsmanship. Stone and wood were primary materials used in building and creating tools, weapons, and idols. The skill of cutting and shaping these materials was highly valued and often associated with artisans and craftsmen. The metaphorical use of "qatsab" reflects the importance of decision-making and judgment in the community, as leaders and judges would "cut" or determine the course of action or justice.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. root<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to cut off, shear<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>cut off (1), shorn (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> [<font class="hebrew2">קָצַב</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>cut off, shear</b></font> (?)
