Greek NT δὲ
Peshitta ܕܝܢ
Vulgate autem

The postpositive connective particle (Greek δέ, Latin autem, Syriac ܕܝܢ) is rendered consistently across all three traditions; its position differs because Syriac and Greek place it second in the clause while Latin likewise enclitically follows initio.

Greek NT ἀρχῆς κτίσεως
Peshitta ܒܪܫܝܬ
Vulgate initio creaturæ

Greek ἀρχῆς κτίσεως ('beginning of creation') and Latin initio creaturæ both render an explicit two-word genitive phrase; the Peshitta compresses this into the single lexicalised adverbial ܒܪܫܝܬ ('in the beginning'), echoing the Genesis 1:1 formula and omitting an overt equivalent for 'creation.'

Greek NT καὶ
Peshitta ܘܢܩܒܬܐ
Vulgate et

The conjunction 'and' (Greek καί, Latin et) stands as a free word, whereas the Peshitta prefixes it proclitically as the waw of ܘܢܩܒܬܐ; this is a routine orthographic difference of Semitic conjunction-attachment, not a semantic divergence.

construction All three attest
Greek NT ὁ θεός·
Peshitta ܐܠܗܐ
Vulgate Deus

Greek supplies the definite article ὁ before θεός in accordance with its anaphoric convention for ὁ θεός; Latin Deus and Syriac ܐܠܗܐ lack an article (none being available in Latin, and the Syriac emphatic state functioning as default), so the difference is purely grammatical and carries no semantic weight.
