Hubble's law is a law relating to objects in deep space that is named after Edwin Hubble, who helped verify its existence. Hubble's law states that objects in deep space are observed from Earth to have a radial velocity, measured by the Doppler shift in their spectra, which is proportional to their distance from us.

In simpler, less quantitative words: Everything in the universe is moving away from us, and the farther it already is from us, the faster it's moving away from us.

What is is hubbles law?

Hubble's Law states that (more or less) the distance to a galaxy is a constant multiple of the distance to that galaxy. For example, if one galaxy is moving away from us at three times the speed of another galaxy, then that means it is also three times as far away. The Law indicates that the Universe is expanding and had a beginning. Before Hubble's Law, many astronomers thought that the Universe did not have a beginning (it always existed).

What does Hubbles law tell us about the beginning of the universe?

It shows that in the past, galaxies were closer together; also, it suggests - as is commonly believed nowadays - that some time in the past, all matter in the Universe was very close together, in a very hot and dense state.
