[Malbim Ayelet HaShachar 465:1](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Malbim%20Ayelet%20HaShachar/r/465:1)

יש הבדל בין **פה** ובין **שפה**. שהשפה היא חצונית נגד הפה. ומציין במלת "פה" דברי חכמה, וב"שפה" מציין דברי דעת (שמיני סימן כז)

**Ayelet Hashachar, translated by Betzalel Avraham Feinstein, 2021:**
There is a difference between **פה** (mouth) and **שפה** (lip): **שפה** is the exterior of the mouth. And the word **פה** indicates words of חכמה (wisdom), while שפה indicates words of דעת (knowledge).

*The difference between*חכמה*and*דעת*according to Rashi is that*חכמה*is what one hears from others and learns, while*דעת*is Divine inspiration. Also, Rashi defines*תבונה*(understanding) as comprehension of a matter with one’s intellect based on what he has already learned⁶⁹⁷.*
