in the mouth of

Rootפה (p-h)
Core Meaningsmouth, opening, utterance, speech, command
Semantic Rangeliteral mouth, speech, utterance, command, testimony, authoritative declaration
Conceptual SignificanceIn biblical usage, the "mouth" represents not only the physical organ but also the vehicle of authority, decree, and revelation. What proceeds "from the mouth" signifies binding speech, whether human testimony or divine command.
Morphological NotesAramaic noun, common masculine singular construct (Ncmsc) with prefixed preposition בְּ ("in"). The construct form indicates possession or close association with a following noun.
Rendering RationaleThe noun פֻּם is the Aramaic equivalent of פֶּה ("mouth"), derived from the root פה (p-h). It appears here as a masculine singular construct with the prefixed preposition בְּ ("in"), so the rendering "in the mouth of" preserves both the literal sense of the root and the construct relationship requiring a following complement.
