God
How come in Genesis 11:7 God refers to himself as more than one.."Come, let Us go down and there confuse their language.."

Some, such as contemporary Jews, say that God is speaking using the plural of majesty. However there is no Biblical precedent for this plural of majesty, neither in the Bible, nor the Hebrew language of that time - but i guess the argument can be used that maybe the Bible was employing it for the first time - to explain the fact there's no corroborating evidence for its usage.
As Trinitarian Christians, we will maintain, putting all the pieces of the puzzle together, knowing that God is a plurality of persons, that this is God speaking in a manner which reflects His multiple personhood.
