Strong's Lexicon peh: Mouth Original Word: פֶה Word Origin: From the root פָּאָה (H6284), which means "to blow" or "to puff." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4750 (stoma): Often used in the New Testament to denote the mouth, similar to "peh" in Hebrew. For example, in Matthew 12:34, "For out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks." Usage: The Hebrew word "peh" primarily refers to the physical mouth of a human or animal. It is used to denote the organ of speech and consumption. Beyond its literal meaning, "peh" is often employed metaphorically to represent speech, command, or expression. It can also signify the edge or opening of something, such as a river or a vessel. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the mouth was seen as a powerful instrument, not only for communication but also for the expression of one's inner thoughts and intentions. The spoken word held significant weight, as it was believed to have the power to bless, curse, create, or destroy. This understanding is reflected in the biblical emphasis on the careful use of words and the moral implications of speech.
