“It should then say ????? ???? instead of ????? ????. “
If you say that, then the present lashon is also a problem. Why does it say he was “from those who had little faith”? I don’t need to know about the others, just say that Noah had little faith. It should say something like ??? ????

For example, you might read “Bereishes bara Elokim: es hashamyim v’es haaretz….”
You can read it in a different way that is chronologically correct. According to one Midrash, Hashen created 6 worlds before the present one. With that in mind read the passuk like this:
“Bara Shis” – [HE] created six [worlds]
“Bara Elokim et hashamyim v’et haaretz” [then] Hashem created the heaven and earth.
