Genesis 35: God appeared to him. Here in the Hebrew, both the name of God and His act are expressed in the plural: Gods appeared to him. Genesis 1: Let us make man to our image. Where Let us make is said because of the plurality of the Persons, and Our, because of the unity of the essence. For the Lord is not addressing angels here. Otherwise, the angels, who are our fellow servants, would be our creators, and to be adored by us, and we would have been created even to their image. But the opinion is to be detested which moves the suspicion as if God, after the making of the heaven, earth, or sea, could not have created man alone, but had the necessity to seek the help of His angels. (The Wise Man explains this passage, Wisdom 9).

In the word One, however, He implies that God is one in essence. And note that Our is added only to the second name, because only the Son, who is the second person of the same Trinity, was to be ours through the participation of our mortality. See on this also Isaiah 25 and Baruch 3. He is our God. Deuteronomy 32: See that I am alone, and there is no other God
