I have learned that often kings refer to themselves in a plural way. The word for God in Hebrew (Elohim) is plural, so the statement likely indicates that God was taking counsel with himself. This may also hint at the mystery of the Trinity - in the unity of God there is plurality. Some believe this describes God speaking to his heavenly court of angels. | ||||||

I looked up any referance I could find about the word "Majesty", the closest I could come up with is the word "Exalted" in "Thompson's Chain Topics". try to look up the following: Christ His Exaltation, to Heavenly Places Mark 16:19 Luke 22:69 Acts 2:36 Acts 5:31 Eph 1:20 Php 2:9 Heb 1:9 1Pe 3:22 Rev 5:12 SEE Christ; Exaltation of SEE Christ; Head of the Church SEE Christ; Honoured God Ps 21:13 Ps 47:9 Ps 57:11 Ps 99:5 Ps 108:5 Ps 118:28 Isa 12:4 Isa 25:1 Isa 33:5 SEE Honour SEE Glorifying God Israel Exalted to a High Position when obedient. A type of the true church. Deut 26:19 Deut 28:1 Deut 28:13 Deut 32:13 Deut 33:29 Isa 14:2 Isa 45:14 Isa 49:23 Isa 60:14 SEE God's; People Under the Special protection of Jehovah. SEE Promises, Divine; Of Protection Saints Of the Saints promised Ps 91:14 Isa 33:16 Isa 58:14 Dan 12:3 Hab 3:19 Mat 19:28 Luke 19:17 1Co 6:2 Rev 3:21 Rev 5:10 Rev 11:12 SEE Reward SEE Crowns; Spiritual SEE Eternal; Glory SEE Second Coming of Christ (Thompson's Chain Topics, "Exalted") I don't know if this will be of any help to you, but give it a try. :-) |

6 | opinion in NET Bible (cf. www.bible.org) | Gen 1:26 | 1Cor13 | 124 | ||
what i meant is that, the translator of Genesis of the NET Bible thinks while some explain the use of "let us make..." in Gen 1:26 by "the plural of majesty", ie plural used to show majesty, the sentence structure grammatically disapproves such an explanation. further comments? | ||||||
