Exegesis
The restrictive particle akh-besaro {אַךְ-בְּ֭שָׂרוֹ | ʾaḵ-bəśārô} ‘only in his flesh’ narrows focus to bodily affliction, immediately followed by the locative alav {עָלָיו | ʿālāyw} ‘upon him’ and the imperfect yikhav {יִכְאָב | yiḵʾāḇ} ‘he is in pain’, which conveys continuous suffering.
Root and etymology
k-ʾ-bkaf–aleph–bet
“to hurt, feel pain”
In context — Job 14:22
Only his flesh upon him is in pain, and his soul upon him mourns .
