In the beginning (Biblically) denotes work being started in a new realm in which time, space and matter would be called into existence. In the eternal realm there is no beginning and no end. So in the beginning of this work, in this new realm, Elohim began a work of creation. This took six days and on the seventh day Elohim rested from the creative work.
On a side note; we know that everything that exists has its existence within the bounds of time, space and matter. This runs parallel with the first verse of Genesis. “In the beginning (Time) Elohim created the heavens (Space) and the earth (Matter)”.
