How do we know that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge?

Answered in 1 source

The fear of the Lord is the starting point of knowledge because it aligns our hearts with God's will and leads us to true understanding.

Proverbs asserts that the fear of the Lord is foundational to all knowledge and wisdom. This reverent fear involves recognizing God's sovereignty, righteousness, and the moral order He has established. By embracing this posture, individuals open themselves to understanding divine truth which is essential for making sound decisions in life. This theme is reiterated in various passages, where wisdom and knowledge are depicted as treasures that can only be found through a relationship with God (Proverbs 2:1-5). Those who despise or ignore this fear inevitably walk in folly and destruction, as articulated in Proverbs 1:29-31.
