SIBI-P1 H7225-02

from the first-beginning

Rootראש (r-ʾ-sh)
Core Meaningshead, top, first, chief, beginning, summit
Semantic Rangebeginning, first part, earliest time, chief portion, firstfruits, principal thing
Conceptual Significanceרֵאשִׁית frames events in terms of what stands at the ‘head’—the originating or chief point in time, order, or rank. It is foundational in biblical theology for expressing origins (e.g., creation), priority, and consecrated first portions offered to יהוה.
Morphological NotesPreposition מִן (“from”) prefixed to a feminine singular noun רֵאשִׁית in construct (and once absolute) form; no pronominal suffix. Feminine singular is maintained in sense though not overtly marked in English.
Rendering Rationaleרֵאשִׁית is a feminine singular noun derived from the root ראש (“head, first, chief”), denoting what stands at the head in time or rank. The prefixed מִן (“from”) forms “from the first-beginning,” preserving both the singular form and the root sense of what is foremost or at the head.
