This points to the incarnation.

Next then it says God created by the Son. God created. If we look at John's gospel he starts with the Logos and only after the logos is made flesh does he call him "Son".

If God's agency isn't someone other than God, then God's agency is His own Word.

Bernard though sees this as God creating with the Son in view or in mind, the very foundation or corner stone of creation.

Good thought Prax.
