Genesis is a retelling of the birth of Israel. The pure formed Earth emerges from the chaos, much as the Israelites saw themselves through the constant separation from all those around them. I can't be bothered going into great depths on this subject right now.
However, by your definition, Grace, it says very, very little. It is so non-specific, and broad ranging that it could encompass almost anything. And because it includes everything, it can basically be equated to nothing.
