Dict: easton - Lip

easton:

Lip @ besides its literal sense kjv@Isaiah:37:29, etc.), is used in the original (saphah) metaphorically for an edge or border, as of a cup (kjvKings:7:26), a garment kjv@Exodus:28:32), a curtain (26:4), the sea kjv@Genesis:22:17), the Jordan ( kjv@2Kings:2:13). To "open the lips" is to begin to speak kjv@Job:11:5); to "refrain the lips" is to keep silence kjv@Psalms:40:9; kjv@1Peter:3:10). The "fruit of the lips" kjv@Hebrews:13:15) is praise, and the "calves of the lips" thank-offerings kjv@Hosea:14:2). To "shoot out the lip" is to manifest scorn and defiance kjv@Psalms:22:7). Many similar forms of expression are found in Scripture.
