8560. 'At the mouth of Jehovah' means in the Lord's providence. This is clear from the meaning of 'the mouth of Jehovah' as God's truth in accordance with which they were led; for 'the mouth of Jehovah' here is taken to mean Divine utterance and being led in accordance with it, which is providence. God's providence is different from any other kind of leading or guidance in that it constantly has in view what is eternal and is constantly leading to salvation. It does so through various states, sometimes joyful and at other times miserable; and though these are beyond the person's comprehension they all nevertheless make a contribution towards his life into eternity. These things are meant by 'travels at the mouth of Jehovah', 'Jehovah' in the Word being the Lord, see 1343, 1736, 2004, 2005, 2018, 2025, 2156 2329, 2447, 2921, 3023, 3035, 5041, 5663, 6281, 6303, 6905.
The Lord, in the simplest terms, is love itself expressed as wisdom itself. In philosophic terms, love is the Lord's substance and wisdom is His form. Of course, we feel the Lord's love and hear His wisdom in many different ways, depending on our state in life and how receptive we are. That's why the Lord has so many different names in the Bible, and is referred to in so many different ways.
