SIBI-P1 H6310-19

according to the mouth of

Rootפה (p-h)
Core Meaningsmouth, opening, speech, utterance, edge, portion
Semantic Rangeliteral mouth; speech or utterance; command or decree; measure or proportion; edge or extremity; portion or share; formulaic expression meaning "according to" or "in agreement with."
Conceptual SignificanceIn biblical usage, the "mouth" represents authoritative speech—divine command, legal decree, or personal testimony. The phrase "according to the mouth of" often signals alignment with spoken authority, especially the word of YHWH, underscoring the power and binding nature of uttered words in Israelite thought.
Morphological NotesPrefixed preposition כְּ ("according to") + noun פֶּה in masculine singular construct (פִּי). The construct form indicates possession or specification by a following noun.
Rendering RationaleThe noun פֶּה (mouth) in the masculine singular construct form פִּי means "mouth of." With the prefixed preposition כְּ ("as, according to"), the phrase literally reads "according to the mouth of," preserving the concrete imagery of speech as the source of command or measure. The construct state requires the following genitive relationship, reflected by "of."
