his mouth
| Root | פה (p-h) |
| Core Meanings | mouth, opening, edge, speech, utterance |
| Semantic Range | Physical mouth; speech or utterance; command; edge or opening; portion or side; expression or declaration. |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical thought, the "mouth" represents not only physical speech but authority, command, and revelation—what proceeds from one’s mouth reflects inner intent and, when referring to YHWH, divine decree and creative power. |
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine singular noun in construct form with 3ms pronominal suffix (HNcmsc/Sp3ms), yielding the meaning "mouth of him" → "his mouth." |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun פֶּה (peh) means "mouth"—the physical organ of speech and by extension speech or utterance itself. The morphology (common masculine singular noun with 3rd masculine singular suffix) requires the rendering "his mouth," preserving both singular number and the possessive "his." |
