'Beginning' in the Bible

Fearing the Lord is the beginning of moral knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

The Lord created me as the beginning of his works, before his deeds of long ago.

From eternity I was appointed, from the beginning, from before the world existed.

before he made the earth and its fields, or the beginning of the dust of the world.

The beginning of wisdom is to fear the Lord, and acknowledging the Holy One is understanding.

An inheritance gained easily in the beginning will not be blessed in the end.
