'Beginning' in the Bible

Fear of Yahweh [is the] beginning of knowledge; wisdom and instruction, fools despise.

The beginning of wisdom: Get wisdom! With all [that is in] your possession, gain insight.

From eternity, I was set up from [the] first, from the beginning of the earth.

[Like] the release of water [is] the beginning of strife; before it breaks out, stop the quarrel.

An inheritance acquired [hastily] {at the beginning} will not be blessed at its end.
