Genesis 1 is an Outline of ALL of the events leading to the Creation of the Perfect Heaven. Most of the rest of the Bible refers to the present 6th Day, but ALL of the Bible refers to the events of God's 6 Creative Days. That's why we are taken back to the 3rd Day at Gen 2:4. The narrative is adding details to the events listed in Gen 1. Both accounts agree totally and in detail.
What is amazing is that God wrote our History more than 3,000 years ago, and the events at the end of the present 6th Day are still Future.
IOW, God told the complete story of the Creation in Genesis 1 and beginning at Gen 2:4, we begin to learn the details of the events of Genesis 1.
Isa 46:9 Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and*there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me, v10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:
Genesis 1:1 is just a preface or summary -The Story of the "Beginning" of the Physical World.
Genesis 1:2 narrates us the condition of the deep (dark - void) before the world was.
Genesis 1:3 documents us the bringing forth of the Light before anything is made that was made;
Genesis 1:4 the division / separation of Light from darkness - the first work of old.
Genesis 1:5 The evening & the morning, the first day.
Notice: The heaven and the earth were still formless and void on the first day. The first formation of the PHYSICAL heaven took place on the 2nd day (Gen. 1:6-8) - the world of Adam..... their earth was made on the 3rd day.

The Almighty God Father first Created (thru power of his logo - ex-nihilo) the materials or matters needed in order for his Son (YHWH or Jesus) to physically form/fashion with his own hands our heavenS and earth - for inhabitation, thereof.
In the context of the text, I see the narrative as saying:
In the beginning God Created the heaven (Air) and the Earth (Ground). And the Earth (Ground) was without form, (Dust) and void (Empty); and darkness was upon the face of the deep, and the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
The 3 elements necessary for all physical form are shown.. Air, Dust, and Water.Everything which is physical is composed of these 3 elements. The text is correct in showing that the water was not directly created, or spoken into being, because it consists of elements of the Air or Atmosphere. Water is Hydrogen and Oxygen and came from the Atmosphere and is not shown as a separate creation.
This is correct in today's scientific knowledge, but IF the Bible were written by Ancient men, Moses would not have known this. He would have written that in the beginning God created the Air, Dust, and Water, but since God Himself is the Author, He correctly shows that the Atmosphere and Ground were created, and the Water was not a separate creation but instead, came from the Atmosphere.

The Son of God was at the bosom of the Almighty Father BEFORE the Making of our physical world. However, he came forth (begotten), the first timeWordLET THERE BE LIGHTThe Son became the only God physically formed or ever shall be physically formed for us to see and witness. He was the great I AM" (YHWH) of the Old Testament and became better known as Jesus Christ in the New Testament.
Isa 43:10 Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.
The brightness of glory of the Son provided the True Light of heaven in the beginning (ALPHA) before the world was (Gen. 1:3).... as he will also be the one to provide the light of heaven in the end (OMEGA). Rev. 21:23
Rev 21:23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.
John 1:3 All things were MADE by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
