Gesenius' Hebrew and Chaldee Definition

אוּץ

(1) to urge, to press any one on (comp. Ch. אֲצַץ. Cognate roots, both in sound and in signification, are אָלַץ, לָחַץ, נָחַץ; comp. Gr. πιέζω), Exodus 5:13.

(2) to urge oneself, to hasten, Joshua 10:13; Proverbs 19:2, 28:20. Followed by מִן it is, to hasten backward, to withdraw oneself; Jeremiah 17:16, מֵרֹעֶה אַחֲרֶיךָ לֹא אַצְתִּי for מִהְיוֹת רֹעֶה “I have not withdrawn myself, that I should not be a shepherd (prophet) after thee.”

(3) to be narrow, strait, Joshua 17:15.

Hiphil, i.q. Kal No. 1, to urge, to press on; construed with a gerund of the verb, Isaiah 22:4 followed by בְּ of pers., Genesis 19:15.
