SIBI-P1 H6310-53

and according to the mouth of

Rootפה (p-h)
Core Meaningsmouth, opening, speech, utterance, edge, portion
Semantic Rangeliteral mouth; speech or utterance; command or decree; edge or opening; portion or measure; idiomatically "according to" when used with לְ
Conceptual SignificanceIn biblical usage, the "mouth" represents the source of authoritative speech—human or divine. The idiom "according to the mouth of" often grounds action or judgment in spoken command, underscoring the power and authority of the spoken word in covenantal and legal contexts.
Morphological NotesConjunction וּ + preposition לְ + masculine singular noun פֶּה in construct state (פִי). The construct form links the noun to a following word, forming a genitive relationship ("mouth of …").
Rendering RationaleThe noun פֶּה ("mouth") in the masculine singular construct form פִי means "mouth of." With the prefixed conjunction וּ ("and") and preposition לְ ("to/according to"), the phrase literally reads "and according to the mouth of," preserving the root sense of speech or utterance as the basis for what follows. The singular construct form is maintained in English by retaining "mouth of," indicating dependence on a following genitive.
