and mouth-of
| Root | פה (p-h) |
| Core Meanings | mouth, opening, edge, utterance, portion, command |
| Semantic Range | Literal mouth; speech or utterance; command or decree; edge or opening (of a sword, cave, garment); portion or share; accordance (in idioms such as "according to the mouth of"). |
| Conceptual Significance | "Mouth" in the Hebrew Bible represents both physical speech and authoritative declaration. It can signify divine command ("by the mouth of YHWH"), legal testimony, or the effective power of spoken words, reflecting the cultural weight given to utterance as an instrument of covenant, judgment, and blessing. |
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction ו + noun common masculine singular construct (פִּי). In some occurrences it appears with a 1cs suffix ("my mouth"), but the base construct form means "mouth of." The construct state links it grammatically to a following noun or suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form consists of the conjunction ו ("and") prefixed to פִּי, the masculine singular construct form of פֶּה ("mouth"). Rendering it as "and mouth-of" preserves the construct relationship inherent in the morphology (Ncmsc), indicating that the mouth belongs to or governs what follows, while retaining the concrete root sense of an opening or organ of speech. |
