MOUTH

Is sometimes used in Scripture for speaker, Exodus 4:16 Jeremiah 15:19. God spoke with Moses "mouth to mouth," Numbers 1:12, that is, condescendingly and clearly. The law was to be "in the mouth" of the Hebrews, Exodus 13:9, often rehearsed and talked of. "The rod of his mouth," Isaiah 11:4, and the sharp sword, Revelation 1:16, denote the power of Christ’s word to convict, control, and judge; compare Isaiah 49:2 Hebrews 4:12. The Hebrew word for mouth is often translated "command," Genesis 45:21 Job 39:27 Ecclesiastes 8:2; and the unclean spirits out of the mouth of the dragon, Revelation 16:14, are the ready executors of his commands.
