Proverbs 8:22 English Standard Version:

The LORD possessed me at the beginning of his work, the first of his acts of old.
New American Standard Bible:

The LORD created me at the beginning of His way, Before His works of old.
Brown-Driver-Briggs:

  1. get, acquire
    a. of God as originating, creating
Strong's Hebrew: 7069. קָנָה (qanah) — 85 Occurrences

In the Hebrew mindset, when God created something, he owned it.

Amplified Bible:

The LORD created and possessed me at the beginning of His way, Before His works of old [were accomplished].
