Is sometimes used in Scripture for speaker, Exodus 4:16 Jeremiah 15:19 . God spoke with Moses "mouth to mouth," Numbers 12.8 , 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.
