In the beginning (phrase)

"In the beginning" (Hebrew: בְּרֵאשִׁית; Ancient Greek: ΕΝ ἀρχῇ; Latin: In principio) is the traditional translation of the opening-phrase or incipit "bereshit" in Biblical Hebrew used in the Bible in Genesis 1:1. In John 1:1 of the New Testament, the word Archē is translated into English with the same phrase.
