hi! Breishis is one of the infinitely varied ways of transliterating the
Hebrew name for "Genesis". It means either "in the beginning" or "at the
beginning (of)" depending on the interpretation of the sentence. The
quote "The whole earth..." is the first line of the Babel text. The
commentary after it is my own, which is why it doesn't sound as good as i
wanted it too.
