anheben (class 6 strong, third-person singular present hebt an, past tense hob an or (archaic) hub an, past participle angehoben, past subjunctive höbe an or (archaic) hübe an, auxiliary haben)

   • 1483, Anton Koberger, Bibel, folio V recto:

     Hie hebt ſich an Geneſis das erſt buch der fu^enff bucher moyſi.

     Here begins Genesis, the first book of the five books of Moses.

The alternative past-tense forms hub an etc. are generally limited to the sense of “to begin” and are, even as such, rare and considered dated or poetic.

The alternate past participle was a common obsolete or archaic form.
