Interesting. The Kabbalists attribute it to G-d’s contraction of His “light” (envision the “Godhead,” and the “infinite light” it must emanate) into the light of creation of our world(s) (meaning, spiritual, the realms of angels and demons, down to our physical world— the “lowest” world, the physical.)
Since you parse the Hebrew (bara...etc) Did you know that the Hebrew Bible is riddled with grammatical “mistakes?” The very first word Bereishit (”in the beginning”) is in construct form (the “t” sound at the end) and demands the next word be a noun. However the next word in Hebrew is “bara”. The text in Hebrew reads “In the beginning OF _____ He created the heavens and the earth.” There is an unanswered pregnant pause. So since G-d knows grammar, there must be an interpretation, like every seeming mistake in the Hebrew grammar— and there are many examples.
Is not "time" implied after "In the beginning [of]"?
"Bara" appears during the "creation week" only in 1:1 and in 1:27, in creating man in His image: that is, in making for the first time a creature with the capacity to relate directly with God.

There is an unanswered pregnant pause.
Phinneous, a play on the phrase,if I may..
That pregnant pause was answered when the sun clothed the woman and the moon ended up under her feet.
A day on the Father’s calendar that isn’t one of His 6 work days, or His 7th Day Sabbath, according to instructions the Creator gave Ezekiel (Ezekiel 46)
A day that commemorates John 1:14.
But also commemorates John 1:1 and Genesis 1:1.
He has a day every month,Israel was to pause.
Have banquets, feasts.
Go to temple.
Close the shops and markets
Very close to what we Americans would equate to a combination American Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Once a month. At the beginning.
To commemorate just that.
The Beginning.
The Word.
The Word Made Flesh.
The pregnancy was ‘paused’ till about 2,000 years ago, but Israel was being prepared for it..
A completely different pattern emerges when one starts 1, then 6,then 1, like He taught Ezekiel with the inner gate at the temple.
It gets really interesting at the second 6 work days for the same Son, the Word Made Flesh, born to be the Passover Lamb, who takes away the sins of the whole world..
