It is true that in a few verses the first-person plural pronoun is used, but in the vast majority of verses the first-person singular pronoun is used, even though its antecedent is plural! This is a significant grammatical anomaly. To whom might God be talking at Genesis 1:26?

But this does not mean that they regard it as a person or as female. The same is true for Bible Greek and Hebrew.
