So... who were those others?

The Jewish teachers represented in Justin’s Dialogue also claim that this plural is either just a manner of speaking, or else that God was speaking to the elements. But Justin points out that the creation narrative goes on to say, “Behold, the man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil.” Clearly, knowing good from evil is not an attribute of the elements. Therefore God is conversing with a rational being or beings who are numerically distinct from him. Justin connects the use of the plural in the creation story with the testimony of Proverbs 8, in which Wisdom is personified as a co-eternal presence with the God of creation (Dialogue with Trypho 62).2 Similarly, Theophilus of Antioch concludes that the statement ‘Let us make man in our image’ is addressed to the Second and Third Persons of the Trinity: “But to no one else than his own Word and wisdom did He say, ‘Let us make’“ (To Autolycus 2.18).

There is no evidence to suggest this to be the case. The trinity is never mentioned in the OT.

A plurality that exists within a singularity.
Let us make man in our image, after our likeness.
same as God saying:
Let me make man in my image, after my likeness.

I would like in this thread to accentuate that, in fact, there is no ‘’Jealous Gad’’. Instead, there is ‘’Jealous priesthood’’.
The first who introduced the concept of monotheism were the Hebrew.
Aton and Adonai are very close, for instance. Sigmund Freud also suggest, in his book Moses and Monotheism that Moses was a priest in the cult of Aton and converted the Isrealis to that faith after the Egyptians sloughed it off.
