It is often used to signify the starting point of something, the foremost part, or the best of a group. In a broader sense, it can also refer to the principal or chief aspect of something.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of "beginning" was not only about chronological order but also about primacy and preeminence. The "first" of something was often considered the most important or sacred, as seen in the practice of offering the "firstfruits" to God. This reflects a worldview where the initial portion of anything was dedicated to the divine, acknowledging God's sovereignty and provision.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span
