Lexicon :: Strong's H7225 - rē'šîṯ

In the beginning ^H7225 God ^H430 created ^H1254 the heavens ^H8064 and the earth ^H776.

“Reuben ^H7205, you are my firstborn ^H1060;

My might ^H3581 and the beginning ^H7225 of my vigor ^H202,

[fn]Preeminent ^H3499 in dignity ^H7613 and [fn]preeminent ^H3499 in strength ^H5794.

“You shall bring ^H935 the choice ^H7225 first ^H1061 fruits ^H1061 of your ground ^H127 into the house ^H1004 of Yahweh ^H3068 your God ^H430.

“You shall not boil ^H1310 a young ^H1423 goat ^H1423 in the milk ^H2461 of its mother ^H517.

“You shall bring ^H935 the very first ^H7225 of the first ^H1061 fruits ^H1061 of your ground ^H127 into the house ^H1004 of Yahweh ^H3068 your God ^H430.

“You shall not boil ^H1310 a young ^H1423 goat ^H1423 in its mother’s ^H517 milk ^H2461.”

Then he looked ^H7200 at Amalek ^H6002 and took ^H5375 up ^H5375 his discourse ^H4912 and said ^H559,

“Amalek ^H6002 was the first ^H7225 of the nations ^H1471,

But his end ^H319 shall be [fn]destruction ^H8.”

“Then he [fn]provided ^H7200 the first ^H7225 part for himself,

For there ^H8033 the ruler’s ^H2710 portion ^H2513 was [fn]reserved ^H5603;

And he came ^H857 with the heads ^H7218 of the people ^H5971;

He did ^H6213 the righteousness ^H6666 of Yahweh ^H3068,

And His judgments ^H4941 with Israel ^H3478.”

On that day ^H3117 men ^H376 were also appointed ^H6485 over ^H5921 the chambers ^H5393 for the stores ^H214, the contributions ^H8641, the first ^H7225 fruits ^H7225, and the tithes ^H4643, to gather ^H3664 into them from the fields ^H7704 of the cities ^H5892 the portions ^H4521 required by the law ^H8451 for the priests ^H3548 and Levites ^H3881; for Judah ^H3063 was glad ^H8057 over ^H5921 the priests ^H3548 and Levites ^H3881 who stood ^H5975 to minister.

“Though your beginning ^H7225 was insignificant ^H4705,

Yet your end ^H319 will increase ^H7685 greatly ^H3966.

“It is the first ^H7225 of the ways ^H1870 of God ^H410;

Let its Maker ^H6213 bring ^H5066 near ^H5066 its sword ^H2719.

So He struck ^H5221 all ^H3605 the firstborn ^H1060 in Egypt ^H4714,

The first ^H7225 of their vigor ^H202 in the tents ^H168 of Ham ^H2526.

He also struck ^H5221 down ^H5221 all ^H3605 the firstborn ^H1060 in their land ^H776,

The first ^H7225 of all ^H3605 their vigor ^H202.

Resh

The [fn]fear ^H3374 of Yahweh ^H3068 is the beginning ^H7225 of wisdom ^H2451;

Sin

Good ^H2896 insight ^H7922 belongs to all ^H3605 those who do ^H6213 [fn]His commandments;

Tav

His praise ^H8416 stands ^H5975 forever ^H5703.

The fear ^H3374 of [fn]Yahweh ^H3068 is the beginning ^H7225 of knowledge ^H1847;

[fn]Ignorant ^H191 fools ^H191 despise ^H936 wisdom ^H2451 and discipline ^H4148.

Honor ^H3513 Yahweh ^H3068 from your wealth ^H1952

And from the first ^H7225 of all ^H3605 your produce ^H8393;

“[fn]The beginning ^H7225 of wisdom ^H2451 is: Acquire ^H7069 wisdom ^H2451;

And with all ^H3605 your acquiring ^H7075, acquire ^H7069 understanding ^H998.

“Yahweh ^H3068 possessed ^H7069 me at the beginning ^H7225 of His way ^H1870,

Before ^H6924 His deeds ^H4659 [fn]of ^H227 old ^H227.

The beginning ^H7225 of strife ^H4066 is like letting ^H6362 out ^H6362 water ^H4325,

So abandon ^H5203 the dispute ^H7379 before ^H6440 it breaks ^H1566 out ^H1566.

Better ^H2896 is the end ^H319 of a matter ^H1697 than ^H4480 its beginning ^H7225;

Better ^H2896 is patience ^H750 of spirit ^H7307 than ^H4480 haughtiness ^H1364 of spirit ^H7307.

Declaring ^H5046 the end ^H319 from the beginning ^H7225,

And from ancient ^H6924 times ^H6924 things which ^H834 have not been done ^H6213,

Saying ^H559, ‘My counsel ^H6098 will be established ^H6965,

And I will accomplish ^H6213 all ^H3605 My good ^H2656 pleasure ^H2656’,

“Israel ^H3478 was holy ^H6944 to Yahweh ^H3068,

The first ^H7225 of His produce ^H8393.

All ^H3605 who ate ^H398 of it became ^H816 guilty ^H816;

Evil ^H7451 came ^H935 upon them,” declares ^H5002 Yahweh ^H3068.’”

In the beginning ^H7225 of the reign ^H4468 of Jehoiakim ^H3079 the son ^H1121 of Josiah ^H2977, king ^H4428 of Judah ^H3063, this ^H2088 word ^H1697 came ^H1961 from Yahweh ^H3068, saying ^H559,

In the beginning ^H7225 of the reign ^H4467 of [fn]Zedekiah ^H6667 the son ^H1121 of Josiah ^H2977, king ^H4428 of Judah ^H3063, this ^H2088 word ^H1697 came ^H1961 to Jeremiah ^H3414 from Yahweh ^H3068, saying ^H559—

Now it happened in the same ^H1931 year ^H8141, in the beginning ^H7225 of the reign ^H4467 of Zedekiah ^H6667 king ^H4428 of Judah ^H3063, in the fourth ^H7243 year ^H8141, in the fifth ^H2549 month ^H2320, that Hananiah ^H2608 the son ^H1121 of Azzur ^H5809, the prophet ^H5030, who ^H834 was from Gibeon ^H1391, spoke ^H559 to me in the house ^H1004 of Yahweh ^H3068 in the sight ^H5869 of the priests ^H3548 and all ^H3605 the people ^H5971, saying ^H559,

That which ^H834 came ^H1961 as the word ^H1697 of Yahweh ^H3068 to Jeremiah ^H3414 the prophet ^H5030 concerning ^H413 Elam ^H5867, in the beginning ^H7225 of the reign ^H4438 of Zedekiah ^H6667 king ^H4428 of Judah ^H3063, saying ^H559:

I found ^H4672 Israel ^H3478 like grapes ^H6025 in the wilderness ^H4057;

I saw ^H7200 your fathers ^H1 as the earliest ^H1063 fruit ^H1063 on the fig ^H8384 tree ^H8384 in its first ^H7225 season.

But they came ^H935 to Baal-peor ^H1187 and devoted ^H5144 themselves to [fn]shame ^H1322,

And they became ^H1961 as detestable ^H8251 as that which ^H159 they loved ^H157.

Woe ^H1945 to those who are ^H7600 at ^H7600 ease ^H7600 in Zion ^H6726

And to those who feel secure ^H982 in the mountain ^H2022 of Samaria ^H8111,

The distinguished ^H5344 men of the first ^H7225 of the nations ^H1471,

To whom ^H1992 the house ^H1004 of Israel ^H3478 comes ^H935.

Who drink ^H8354 wine ^H3196 from [fn]sacrificial bowls ^H4219

While they anoint ^H4886 themselves with the first ^H7225 pick of the oils ^H8081,

Yet they have not grieved ^H2470 over ^H5921 the destruction ^H7667 of Joseph ^H3130.

Harness ^H7573 the chariot ^H4818 to the team ^H7409 of ^H7409 horses ^H7409,

O inhabitant ^H3427 of Lachish ^H3923—

She was the beginning ^H7225 of sin ^H2403

To the daughter ^H1323 of Zion ^H6726—

Because ^H3588 in you were found ^H4672

The transgressions ^H6588 of Israel ^H3478.
