[QUOTE="Didaskomenos, post: 183626, member: 832"] The plural here is either a remnant from an ancient style of writing (the so-called "majestic plural"), or a carryover from a polytheistic source. Moses (or whoever) used old sources to tell the stories of Genesis. Differing writing styles point to this. It should be noted that the idea of Moses using old sources is not harmful to the position of the inerrancy advocates, because Luke readily admitted using sources. I believe God guided Moses as to which sources to use. Personally I think it points to the fact that Moses was taking from polytheistic sources to get his mythology, and obviously took no great pains to hide this. This suggests that Moses believed that God could speak spiritual Truth through even pagan stories, and God showed him which myths glorified himself the most. Of course, Josephus will disagree...
