SIBI-P1 H6310-42

his mouth

Rootפה (p-h)
Core Meaningsmouth, opening, edge, speech, utterance
Semantic RangePhysical mouth; speech or utterance; command; edge or opening; portion or side; expression or declaration.
Conceptual SignificanceIn 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 NotesCommon masculine singular noun in construct form with 3ms pronominal suffix (HNcmsc/Sp3ms), yielding the meaning "mouth of him" → "his mouth."
Rendering RationaleThe 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."
