Full Definition

اعزبIV He made to be distant, or remote; or to go far away. You say, اعزبهُ ٱللّٰهُ God made him, or may God make him, to go away, or far away.
2 اعزب الإِبِلَ He drove the camels to a distance in the pasturage, not to return in the evening. And اعزب إِبِلَهُ and عزّبها He made his camels to pass the night in the pasturage, not bringing them back in the evening. And اعزب جَمَلَهُ is like أَضَلَّهُ [He made his camel to go astray].
3 [Hence,] اعزب ٱللّٰهُ عَنْهُ حِلْمَهُ God made his forbearance to become remote from him.
4 And أَعْزَبْنَا الكَلَأَ, or أَعْزَبْنَا alone, We lighted upon remote herbage.

2 [Hence,] اعزب القَوْمُ The people's camels went away to a distance in the pasturage, not to return in the evening.
