SIBI-P1 H6310-05

in the mouth of him

Rootפה (p-h)
Core Meaningsmouth, opening, edge, utterance, command
Semantic RangeLiteral mouth; speech or utterance; command or decree; edge or opening; portion or side; authoritative statement.
Conceptual SignificanceIn biblical thought, the "mouth" represents the source of speech, authority, and declaration—whether human or divine. What proceeds from one’s mouth carries power, covenantal weight, and moral consequence, making this term central to themes of revelation, command, and testimony.
Morphological NotesPreposition בְּ (in) + noun masculine singular construct פִּי + 3ms suffix הוּ ("his"). The construct form links the noun to the pronominal suffix, yielding "mouth of him."
Rendering RationaleThe noun פֶּה (mouth) is masculine singular in construct form with a 3rd masculine singular pronominal suffix, preceded by the preposition בְּ ("in"). Rendering it as "in the mouth of him" preserves the construct relationship and explicitly reflects the 3ms suffix while maintaining the concrete imagery of the mouth as the organ of speech.
