SIBI-P1 H6310-23
according to the mouth of
| Root | פה (p-h) |
| Core Meanings | mouth, opening, utterance, edge, portion |
| Semantic Range | literal mouth; speech or utterance; command; testimony; edge or opening; portion; idiomatically "according to," "by the command of," "in proportion to." |
| Conceptual Significance | This expression grounds authority and action in spoken word—whether human testimony or divine command. In biblical thought, the "mouth" signifies the source of authoritative speech, so acting "according to the mouth of" underscores obedience to declared will or established word. |
| Morphological Notes | Preposition לְ prefixed to a common masculine singular noun in construct state (פִּי < פֶּה). The construct form requires a following genitive complement ("of …"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The form לְפִי consists of the preposition לְ ("to/according to") prefixed to the masculine singular construct noun פִּי ("mouth of"). Rendering it as "according to the mouth of" preserves the concrete imagery of "mouth" (speech or utterance) while reflecting the singular construct state that governs a following noun. |
