SIBI-P1 H6310-10
in the mouth of him
| Root | פאה (p-ʾ-h) |
| Core Meanings | mouth, opening, edge, side, utterance, command |
| Semantic Range | Literal mouth; speech or utterance; command or decree; edge or border; portion or share; according to (in idiomatic constructions). |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical thought, the "mouth" represents the source of speech, authority, and revelation. What proceeds from one's mouth—especially the mouth of YHWH—carries creative power, covenantal authority, and binding command, making this term central to themes of obedience, proclamation, and divine instruction. |
| Morphological Notes | Preposition בְּ ("in") + masculine singular construct noun פִּי (from פֶּה) + 3ms pronominal suffix ו ("his"). The construct form links the noun to the suffix, yielding "mouth of him." |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun פֶּה ("mouth") appears here in the masculine singular construct form פִּי with a 3rd person masculine singular pronominal suffix ("of him"), preceded by the preposition בְּ ("in"). Rendering it "in the mouth of him" preserves both the concrete imagery of the root (mouth as organ of speech) and the specific 3ms possessive morphology. |
