"EN ARCH EPOIHSEN hO THEOS"

I take this "EN ARCH" as generally, "'In the beginning' God made". If I want 
to say, rather, "In beginning, God made" would this appear grammatically the 
same, or should I look for a different construct? That is to say, "In 
beginning," such as if I am writing of 'how to construct a guitar' and I 
write then, "In beginning, choose a wood that will provide good intonation". 
"In beginning, God made".

"hH DE GH HN AORATOS KAI AKATASKEUASTOS"

What is this "DE" doing that "KAI" does not do? I am not following what this 
"DE" is doing. How would I understand this in translation if not by 'and'.

Thank you for you help,

Nicholas
