SIBI-P1 Translation H6310-27
by his mouth
| Morphological Notes | Preposition לְ + noun masculine singular construct + 3rd person masculine singular suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun פֶּה (mouth) in construct with a 3ms pronominal suffix and prefixed לְ expresses relation or agency, yielding the idiomatic sense "by his mouth." This preserves the root sense of emission/speech while reflecting the masculine singular suffix. |
