'Beginning' in the Bible

Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase.

While they are still beginning to flower and not ripe for cutting, they can wither away faster than any grass!

He is a beginning of the ways of God, His Maker bringeth nigh his sword;

So the LORD blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses.
