In The Beginning (phrase)
"In the beginning" is the traditional translation of the opening-phrase or incipit "" in Biblical Hebrew used in the Bible in Genesis 1:1 . In John 1:1 of the New Testament, the word is translated into English with the same phrase. Etymology The mimetic translation of the word ''bǝrēʾšît'' () in the Hebrew Bible is: 'In beginning'. The word is made of two parts, ''bǝ'' (a prepositional suffix) and ''rēʾšît'' (a noun). As a result, this forms part of a genitive phrase, leading to a linguistic and exegetical translation of this word being 'In the beginning of...'. More accurately, the Hebrew word for "In the beginning,", the non-genitive phrase, would be "''barēʾšît".'' A more functional equivalent English translation of the first three words of Genesis 1:1 is: "When God began to create...".

Beresheet 2
''Beresheet ''2 is a planned private space mission intended to land two spacecraft on the Moon in 2025. As the spacecraft reaches the Moon, it will split into three: the mothership (orbiter) and two landers that will be released for landing at different locations on the Moon. The orbiter will continue to orbit the Moon on a long-term multi-year mission. This will be the first-ever dual-lander deployment mission, with the smallest landers to ever soft-land on the Moon.

It is an expository midrash comprising a collection of ancient rabbinical homiletical interpretations of the Book of Genesis, the first book of the Torah, whose authorship in tradition has been attributed to Hoshaiah Rabbah in the period of the Amoraim, flourishing in 3rd century Roman-ruled Syria Palaestina. The midrash forms an aggadic commentary on Genesis, in keeping with the midrashic exegesis of that age. In a continuous sequence, broken only toward the end, the Biblical text is expounded, verse for verse, often word for word. Only genealogic passages and passages that furnish no material for exposition (as the reiterated account of Abraham's servant in 24:35-48) are omitted.
