and beginning-of
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common feminine singular construct with prefixed conjunction וְ ("and"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun רֵאשִׁית derives from the root meaning "head" or "chief" and denotes the initial or foremost part of something. The feminine singular construct form requires a relational sense ("beginning of"), and the prefixed וְ adds "and." |
