In Genesis 1:26, God refers to Himself in the plural. He says, \u201cLet us make man in our image.\u201d Why does He do that? Why does Moses write it that way? Is this the first verse in the Bible that proves the Trinity?
\n
\nNo, I don\u2019t think so. This podcast on Genesis 1:26-27 explains what I do think.

\nThe Text of Genesis 1:26-27
\nGenesis 1:26-27. Then God said, \u201cLet Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.\u201d So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.
