beginning of
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common, feminine singular, construct state. |
| Rendering Rationale | As a feminine singular noun in construct state, רֵאשִׁית denotes the initial or foremost part belonging to something else; "beginning of" preserves both the root idea of head/firstness and the required genitive relationship of the construct form. |

SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
first of
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | Adjusted from 'beginning of' to 'first of' because in the context of agricultural or food products, 'reishit' denotes the first portion and agrees with the common and context (offering of dough). |
